"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."
- The Huffington Post
"Superb.. Joltingly funny.
Fueled by the remarkable subtlety of
Fernando Lujan's performance."
- The Jewish Week NY
"Nora's Will is Hereafter minus the sap."
- New York Magazine
"A fun, engaging and darkly comical piece
worth checking out."
- Heeb Magazine
"One of the best films of the year."
- Detroit Jewish News

 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.
