What distinguishes "Fonzy" is its attention to Diego's Galician roots.

Chris Packham

Village Voice

The comic plot of Fonzy is outrageous, but to writer-director Isabelle Doval, it's just an armature that supports its gently funny characters and its themes of emotional and filial connections.

London Evening Standard

There's a sweetness to the proceedings that makes you sort of glad it wasn't strangled at birth.

Rated: 3/5

Total Film

Doval's relentlessly upbeat take is warm and fluffy, but leaves the sugary sentiments for the tear-jerking final reel.

Rated: 3/5

SI le film peine a gerer la famille nombreuse il reserve aussi quelques petits instants d'emotion et de comedie pas si mal foutus...

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
