The movie ‘Feast of The Seven Fishes' takes me on a nostalgic journey back to Christmases past. As an Italian American, I find a deep connection with the characters, whose experiences resonate with those of my own friends and family. Each scene, especially those showcasing the visually stunning and nostalgic food, acts as a portal to a simpler time, offering a vivid snapshot of our Italian American heritage. Christmas Eve is for many of us is the craziest night of the year, and the night I look forward to more than any other on the calendar year. This film embodies the storied history of the food, but also the Italian spirit of generosity, highlighting our culture's inherent inclusiveness and warmth towards others. Since its release, it has been a source of inspiration for my family, especially when we needed it most. It has the power to envelop you in the holiday spirit. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful film as an instant classic, one that not only entertains but also inspires you to embrace the holiday season with an Italian touch!

Similar to other immigrant/2nd Generation themed movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but not quite as good. It's light hearted entertainment in a smart way. I could think of worse ways to pass the time.

This film is super witty, but not in a corny way. The writing is very well-crafted, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging the story turned out to be. The dialogue was sharp and clever. I thoroughly enjoyed the film from beginning to end.

I love the 1980s aesthetic. Much of the movie shot with a lot of action and dialogue happening within a small space create a genuine feeling of familial intimacy, or closeness. And the fact that all of this action is organized around a massive seafood boil makes this a win in my eyes. I will look forward to watching this movie next year and for many years to come.

I grew up in the area this movie was filmed in, most of my close friends Italian, Hungarian decendant's of first generation coal miners. This movie was just "real". Pure delite to find a feel good movie at an adult level during the holidays. The only thing off was the use of Coke Cola when in reality WV/PA/OH were Pepsi drinkers, promise. Other than that, perfect and job well done cast!!

Perfect holiday movie. Very sweet and feel good but not cheesy. Nice range of characters. Also for those who remember Christmas in the 80s, this will likely satisfy your nostalgia. :)

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.
