"Pitch-perfect....
Original, irreverant... I doubt any (foreign film) will surpass this one for pure enjoyment."
- Leonard Maltin, IndieWire
"Tremendously appealing...
Most impressive of all is filmmaker Mariana Chenillo's ability to make universal a very particular experience. That's a talent well worth appreciating."
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Highly recommended for Angelenos.
A pleasant surprise... Sensitive yet probing."
- Tom Tugend, The Jewish Journal
"It's always a pleasant surprise to discover a
film you know nothing about and find that it
transports you in ways you never expected.
So it is with Nora's Will, a film that never
telegraphs its surprises -- and offers both
low-key and broader comedy, even as it
finds its way to the heart."
- Marshall Fine, The Huffington Post
"It's winning, funny and carries a sneaky emotional punch.
Septuagenarian Mexican star Fernando Lujan may suddenly become a sex symbol north of the border for his performance as Jose. (He) is magnetic and subtle in every frame."
- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

 Nora's Will is a Mexican Jewish comedy like nothing you've seen before, a truly unique tale about lost faith and eternal love from writer/director Mariana Chenillo.
When Jose’s ex-wife Nora dies right before Passover, Jose (Fernando Lujan) is forced to stay with her body until she can be buried properly. Jewish custom dictates that the body has to be buried quickly, but the coming holiday followed by the Sabbath means Jose and his family must wait almost five days to put Nora to rest. He soon realizes they are all part of Nora's plan to bring her family back together for one last Passover feast, leading Jose to reexamine their relationship and rediscover their undying love for each other.
Nora's Will has received rave reviews from critics and audiences all over the country. The film was named Mexico’s Best Picture of the Year, taking home seven Mexican Academy Awards. (Mariana Chenillo is the first female director ever to win Mexico's Best Picture award.)
