iMordecai

I laughed and cried in the best of ways! Hollywood should take a page from Independent movies because indies have more passion in each frame than most other studio productions do in an entire franchise. Saw this at Saint Augustine Film Festival with my parents and everyone loved it! We were supposed to see something with Peter Dinklage in it but this was a very welcomed surprise. Made me think about my family a lot.

Not a lot of stories like these out there. This touches on a beautiful theme that it is never too late to find inspiration all while enjoying the shenanigans of Mordicai. Fantastic storytelling. Great Performances from Judd and Carol as the root of the movie. Lots of heartwarming moments.

P.s the editor for this worked on BIRDMAN??! No wonder it looked so good. Looks like A24 might have some competition if these film makers continue working together. Would love to see more work from these talented people.

The cast is perfect in this beautiful, heartfelt and vivacious story. Judd and Carole are epic together.

Highly recommend for the depth, character ensemble, and the unforgettable story attached.

Based on a true story, it captures every moment carefully and you can see how much care was put into it.

I absolutely loved the animation sprinkled in- how did such a layer of depth to an already deep story

this is such a real story that many people can relate to.

The beautiful scenery is another added layer to the aesthetics- I seriously love Carole Kane in this so much! Legend!!

Great watch !! X.

This is an absolutely wonderful movie. It is a deeply personal story that is emotional, fantastically warm and funny that should not be missed. It's the perfect balance of warmth and humor that makes you fall in love with all the characters.

Judd Hirsch gives an absolutely perfect performance in the title role- bringing Mordechi to life with an incredibly upllifting performance. So very well written and directed- with a talented cast of actors- this is a film that is smart, charming and tells a wise tale that no one should miss. We absolutely loved this film!! A perfect mix of laughter and charming emotion.

We learn a lot about ourselves from Mordechi and leave the theater with a new friend and perspective on life.

I went to see iMordecai with my parents who are in their 70's. We all laughed, teared up at times and related to the movie and its characters in different ways. The cast was very impressive. Judd Hirsch and Carol Kane have always been a dynamic duo. Sean Asten is incredibly talented and the actress that played Nina has tremendous potential.

Marvin Samel who wrote, produced and directed this film, based on a personal story, made opening remarks before the film started. He is incredibly likable, and his passion for telling his father's story is moving.

Overall, I think that this is a film that most anyone can relate to a subset of the characters, it's a feel good story, and it's a good choice to watch with your parents (or kids).

An amazing cast and story come together for a picture for all ages. Alzheimer's , the Holocaust and family relationships all meld together into a touching emotional tribute to getting old and staying young all at the same time . Beautifully set in Southern Florida the film and music only enhance this universal story. Judd Hirsch and Carol Kane play amazing off each other after all these years and Sean Astin along with the rest of the cast all add to this fun ride that ends perfectly. The story is based on a true story that circles around a Cigar Company and the detail the Director put into his Cigars is a mirror to the detail put into this film .
