Nonnas

I just watched the movie "Nonna" and I am going to watch it again! This movie is funny, touching, heartwarming AND family friendly. Anyone who has been close to a grand parent will love this movie. While my grandmother wasn't Italian, she had many Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch recipes that were lost with her passing. I didn't have to pause the movie when my grandchildren walked in, but I did rewind because I didn't want to miss a minute of this movie. The actors were spot on and ajoy to watch. I love to see older Hollywood talent! This movie is a must see! This movie deserves some type of award. LOVED IT!

This is not your average generated content by netflix, this is a real film with emotions.

An Incredible cast doing their best in a beautiful film with inspiring true story ,heartwarming soundtrack ,it everything you want in a romantic comedy and more it's simply perfect for what it's. Yeah there are many similar films was made in the early 2000s but we don't get many movies like this anymore especially if it is done well.it needed more details but every character had enough background and more importantly charm to make you care and the cast is well put together I'm sure fans of the sopranos will be happy.

The movie was a good use of two hours. Vince plays a man suffering from a loss and decides to honour the people that mattered most to him, in one of the ways they showed loved to him.

Through it we get to follow several characters and their journeys, both the main character and four elderly women finding life far more enjoyable. Through just like Vance, putting love in to their food. It sounds cheesy but it works quite well, the setbacks feel real however the one thing holding it back is the ending. While heartwarming and sweet, it also is quite abrupt. From the biggest set back to almost instant resolution. However it's not enough to hold it back from being worth watching.

Who? I need to know the person so I could send a big warm thanks. Its a story so worthy to tell, it's light, it's warm and it is about family. I wish the restaurant was closer to home so I could taste the flavours of it all. I loved the nonnas, loved to see Susan Sarandon shine and loved Vince! This is a must watch movie if you ever miss home.

I miss my nonna so much and this brought tears to my eyes. Not in a sad way though, it was tears remembering all the good times we had around the beautiful and joyful table she used to make for us.

I love when people make movies to make you feel good and embraced. The world needs it! I needed it!

Thank you!!!!!

I often watch a movie these days and up thinking "I wish I had those two hours back. What a waste."

This movie was just the opposite. Two hours very well spent. It has a great story that made me laugh and cry.

It has a fantastic cast. Every single one of the actors in this is stellar.

It has great music.

And it has food. Oh my goodness the food. Served family style - there are huge bowls of streaming pasta and pans of lasagne. Plates of cannoli.

The food looks so good that it made me feel faint.

Even writing this, my stomach is rumbling.

I'm not Italian but I am fond of Italian-leaning movies like Moonstruck, and I totally love the Inspector Montalbano detective series (it takes place in Sicily and is very food-forward).

I didn't know about the "sauce versus gravy" question. Hmmm.

So this movie is about love and family and grief and hope and friendship and perseverance. It is easy on the eyes - not overly directed or overwhelmingly produced. It's about growing old and staying young. And it's about food.

I recommend it. 9 stars but it probably could be 10. It's not like "Best Picture" quality but it is sweet and has heart. I have nothing bad to say about it.
