3/5
In the title role, Hirsch schmears it on a little thick and schticky, while Astin largely looks irritated. In an underwritten part, Carol Kane maximizes every half-smile and gesture, bringing warmth and sly humor. Go to Full Review Adam Mock Film Inquiry 04/30/2023
iMordecai is a definite recommendation for those yearning for an earnest movie-watching experience. Go to Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket 04/23/2023
2.5/4
The best parts of “iMordecai” are Hirsch and Kane, both committing to their sometimes overwritten characters and embodying the movie’s message — that you’re never too old to live a full life — better than the script and direction do. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 03/09/2023
The disjointed comedy/drama iMordecai is based on a true story, but this dull movie looks more like fragmented segments of a very phony sitcom. Even with the talents of Judd Hirsch and Carol Kane, iMordecai is undone by misguided filmmaking. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 03/05/2023
3.0/4.0
iMordecai is a loving tribute to family, friendship, always evolving and, of course, South Florida. Go to Full Review Bill Newcott The Saturday Evening Post 03/02/2023
4/5
I’ll spare you the litany of the many truly awful films wrought under similar circumstances, but Samel — who says he studied filmmaking by watching online Master Classes — has birthed a lovingly crafted, sweetly nuanced tale of familial love. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tiny P 03/06/2023 Not funny as expected. Interesting story which made me stay to the end. See more Jennifer 03/06/2023 Its the must see movie of the decade! See more Moviegoer 03/06/2023 Took awhile to get into. Dont know any holocaust survivors who curse. Second half better than first. See more carol p 02/12/2023 I Mordecai was a very warm, relatable film. It was charming, with a lot of varying emotion throughout, Judd Hirsch was wonderful as Mordecai and as his brother "Martin." See more Seth K 12/11/2024 Heartwarming, funny in spots, always entertaining. Some stellar performances and fine direction. Mordecai is a real character - in every sense of the word - brought to life by Judd Hirsch and director-writer Samel. Carol Kane endearing, Sean Astin authentically loving and put upon. Thumbs up! See more Suzanne F 04/01/2024 This was a funny and heartwarming film that captivated our attention and made us belly laugh. See more Read all reviews
