Surprises are in short supply here, but Tinnell's film is more concerned with cultivating a general, slightly tipsy air of good feeling. In this it largely succeeds...

Tinnell gets terrific performances up and down the cast: from the talented up-and-coming youngsters like Gisondo to veteran character actors like Joe Pantoliano, Paul Ben-Victor and Lynn Cohen.

As far as Christmas romance movies go, Feast of the Seven Fishes is quite watchable, funny in several spots and sweetly poignant in others.

Rated: 3/4

Under the Radar

A nostalgic, Christmastime movie that warms the audience the more it lets its believable cast of characters bounce off one another.

“The feast of the Seven Fishes” has become my all-time favorite Christmas movie because it beautifully captures a tradition so close to my heart. Growing up in an Italian American family, the Feast of the Seven Fishes was a cornerstone of our holiday season—a night filled with love, laughter, and incredible food. Over the years, our celebration has evolved: the location changes, some dishes have been updated, and sadly, some loved ones are no longer with us. Yet, watching this film brings me back to my childhood at my Nannie’s house, where those traditions were first etched into my soul. The movie offers a poignant glimpse into a world that feels deeply familiar and cherished. Even though our family still celebrates Seven Fishes with gusto, I can’t help but miss the magic of those early days. I highly recommend this film to anyone—it’s a heartfelt tribute to family, tradition, and the moments that define the holiday spirit.
