Critics Consensus

Like a homey dish prepared for family, Nonnas just wants to provide heaping helpings of comfort — and does so with enough charm that audiences may want seconds.

Carlos Aguilar

Variety

Repeatedly drives home its point about the unifying force of a homecooked meal as an embodiment of community, and even as it overcrowds its narrative pot with too many unnecessary condiments that get lost in the mix, the result is ultimately palatable.

You're not going to be planted at the edge of your seat here, but "Nonnas" has ample pleasures.

Rated: 3/4

"Nonnas" follows a familiar underdog formula and checks off story beats you can set your watch by.

Rated: C

Mac the Movie Guy

Representational of what is essentially a labor of love, the film that depicts the story of Nonas isn’t made with the same love and care as the real deal. It’s more like Olive Garden, for people who like Olive Garden.

Rated: 74/100

If you’re looking for a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Nonnas is your ticket. Just don’t watch it hungry.

Great family movie! My mother and I loved this. It made us cry and it was so enjoyable to watch with her. I saw her smiling while talking about all the recipes her grandmother left her as well. This was the best all around movie I’ve seen in a while and I’m glad every second I got to watch it with my mother.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

My husband and I loved the movie! It reminded us of our family traditions growing up. I have my own traditions with my family. My husband has a photo of me standing on a step stool to stir my huge pot of Tourtiere. Heartwarming.

I didn’t know this was based on a true story until the end. Ok movie; a bit Hallmarky. Three of the women playing nonnas were annoying.

De las mejores películas de cocina que he visto y deja una gran enseñanza sinceramente no tiene nada de malo esta película no le puse 5 estrellas porque es difícil que considere un estilo de película así con 5 estrellas pero si puedo decir que es de las mejores de su genero

This was such a feel-good film that made me feel the whole time like I was wrapped in a long, warm hug by my own grandma. It also makes me wish I were Italian—the food, the family, the loyalty, the spicy-ness! I wish there was a real restaurant like this in NYC and I would be there in a heartbeat!
