Road to the Lemon Grove

If you are looking for a slick over produced action packed, guns blaring, bombs going off, film with lots of special effects without much of a story line, then Road to the Lemon Grove is not for you. However, if you are looking for some heart and soul, Road to the Lemon Grove is perfect! It will make you laugh, cry and reflect on your relationships with your family and friends. The story and theme is very universal. A relationship between a father and a son, and how being immigrants affected their lives. What makes this film so special is that the story has been filmed and told in a very unique and original way. This would become very apparent if you and your family were immigrants as well.

Road to the Lemon Grove is sure to make a mark with the mature audience from the first families of immigrants and for their next generations.

The music is fantastic throughout the movie.

Spectacular - a story that touches the intelligent heart.

If there was ever a movie for you to see about immigrants in Canada/North America, this would be the one. I revelled in 90 minutes of gorgeous Italian music, beautiful scenery of Sicily, and a touching funny story of father and son; family unity; and one big crazy feast.

ROAD TO THE LEMON GROVE, a big-hearted, joy-filled movie,that takes a spirited journey into the heart of Sicily and the soul of a father/son bond. This funny and touching, multi-award winning film explores the loss of culture and identity that can only be rekindled by reconnecting with the heart of who we are.

ROAD TO THE LEMON GROVE warms the soul, the breath taking cinematography, the gentle humour, and a relationship between a father and son takes the viewer to a plane of joy. It's about love, family, sharing food, and exquisite music. Although the movie focuses on Italian immigrants, this is a story that resonates with everyone who has an immigrant story in their life.

Take a pass on Road to the Lemon Grove. It's just not good. You can thank me later.

The cinematography is stunning. The characters are vibrant and the father - son conflict was relatable. I thought I might be disappointed Loreena Mckennit wasn't part of the soundtrack but her melodic "voice of God" was most satisfying. Italian in-laws were delightfully 2-faced. I will see this again to capture more detail. I attended with my sisters and it sparked a long family conversation over craft beers post show. Inspiring. I would highly recommend.
