In the Hand of Dante, the drama written by Julian Schnabel and Louise Kugelberg, has debuted with a low score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film\u2019s early reviews have been largely divided, with critics raising issues with its storytelling. The result continues an unfortunate trend with reviews for the actress\u2019s movies following the lackluster response to Disney\u2019s Snow White.<\/p>\n<p>In the Hand of Dante reviews aren\u2019t great at all<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Early reviews for In the Hand of Dante have been largely mixed to negative, as several critics found the project difficult to follow and uneven in its execution. Directed by Julian Schnabel and based on Nick Tosches\u2019 2002 novel of the same name, the drama has divided reviewers following its debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Reviewing the film for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-reviews\/in-the-hand-of-dante-review-oscar-isaac-gal-gadot-schnabel-1236358155\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:The Hollywood Reporter;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Hollywood Reporter&quot;}\" class=\"link \">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Caryn James noted that the film remains engaging throughout. \u201cBut even when it goes off the rails, In the Hand of Dante is never dull,\u201d she wrote. She also praised its visual style, adding, \u201cAnd there is always something glorious to look at.
