The great documentary takes you on a fascinating journey in a masterful way. The filmmakers behind Marcella do exactly that. Enjoy! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Donna C I lived in Sicily for 2 1/2 years and enjoyed the experience of learning a few dishes from Italian Nonna’s. I was always struck by their calmness and patience as they cooked. I see this in the film about Marcella Hazan. She cooked with ‘soft hands’, bringing ingredients together to create something new and delicious. I’ve watched it twice and can’t wait to see it again with friends. Do yourself a favor and learn to make Marcella’s Tomato Gravy. Simple, delicious, and a recipe to pass on to my Grandchilldren. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Audience Member This is such an inspiring film! Marcella arrived in the US with little English and minimal cooking knowledge and changed the way Americans cook Italian food. It makes you want to run to your best local market and start cooking! There is an incredible lifetime packed into this hour and 38 minute film. I highly recommend it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Kim U Marcella is a beautiful and heartfelt film, a story that feels like a warm embrace. If you love to cook, enjoy watching cooking shows, or simply appreciate a story rooted in love and tradition, this is a must-watch. Beyond the food, it’s a celebration of family—of the deep connection between Marcella, her husband, Victor and their son, Guiliano. Their marriage could have been a movie all on its own, filled with moments that remind us how love and passion can shape a life. By the time the film ends, you might find yourself searching for flights to Italy, ready to visit the cooking school where her son carries on her legacy. It’s not just about learning recipes—it’s about experiencing the warmth and wisdom that Marcella so generously shared with the world.
