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. May 12, 2025 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday You're not going to be planted at the edge of your seat here, but "Nonnas" has ample pleasures. Rated: 3/4 May 12, 2025 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Nonnas" follows a familiar underdog formula and checks off story beats you can set your watch by. Rated: C May 12, 2025 Full Review Asia Frey Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Nonnas” was not groundbreaking or edgy, but it was pleasant and heartfelt. If you let yourself be comforted and relax into this movie, there’s a good chance that at the end you will feel some emotion akin to “I needed that.” Rated: B+ Sep 25, 2025 Full Review John Stark 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 Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios If you’re looking for a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Nonnas is your ticket. Just don’t watch it hungry.

My T I actually went out of my way to create an account just so I could review this movie. I cannot fathom how it has so many positive ratings. To each their own, but this was one of the worst movies I have seen in years. I’m all for a cheesy feel good movie any day of the week. But this wasn’t that at all. It also lacked any kind of hard hitting deep sentimental emotional moments either. It felt cheesy in the cringiest way and was slow and painful to watch. Not once did I laugh, I let out an awkward, sympathy chuckle at one point to gauge whether the people I was watching with were finding it as terrible as I was (I found out about 50 mins in that they were). Side note- I really like a lot of the actors and actresses in this movie so I was very surprised at how utterly crap I thought the movie was. Like I said - to each their own, but personally I didn’t enjoy anything about this movie. Had to come on and make this account and write this review to hopefully stop other people having to endure it (as I watched based on all the positive reviews). Not sure if I’ll be trusting reviews ever again after this, I’m shaken and so confused by the good ratings (as was everyone I watched with). Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review K S Cute movie with an allstar cast. Based on a true story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Stuart W A feel good movie ideal to fall asleep to on a Sunday afternoon. Hits all the classic (hackneyed) beats of a Hollywood production in an order as comforting as the food on offer. Surprisingly questionable accents, especially considering Lorraine Bracco's language talents, factual inaccuracies and slow pace can be forgiven for the stellar cast. Sadly, an opportunity to take a great true life story and combine with a superbly talented and experienced company is wasted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Kyle M A comforting, charming showcase of underlying passion expectedly stir the sentimental warmth in tonally honoring a touchingly layered story that respects the meaningful subject’s confidence, even though it was derivatively told under familiar structural routine that follows the similar impact as formulaically stretched. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Michael P A warm hug of a movie! Not breaking new ground but very well done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Mr.Mango O. Such a amazing movie. Made me cry with laughter and sadness. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
