iMordecai

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.

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.

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.

I found the movie funny and heartwarming. The writing are directing are very good for a first timer. The characters are well developed and the storyline compelling. I didn't find myself bored at any time during the film. That rarely happens.

Based on the plot, I was unsure whether my kids teenage kids would relate to it, but they enjoyed the movie as much as I did.

I'm recommending this movie and good solid entertainment that will make you laugh and cry. I think that people of all ages, as children, parents, and grandparents will find something to relate to. It also has a business aspect that I found particularly interesting.

I really wanted to like this film, but it was just awful. I do not understand the high rating for this at all. Full of unlikable stereotypes, this film was hard to sit through. I feel bad saying that because this is based on a true story, but their was no real depth to any of the main characters. I have always adored Carol Kane but her character was played as a caricature. The father was kind of a jerk. I felt like there was not a lot of love in this family, just a lot of annoyance. I would have liked to have seen more in the relationship between Mordecai and Nina...she was the best-played character in my opinion and her scenes made the movie for me. Her story and the unraveling of her family's secret was interesting. But overall, although the subject matter was interesting on the surface, I just did not feel any connection to any of the characters. The best scene is the clip that is used for the trailer, with the young man Jared giving Mordecai a set of Beats to listen to music on his iPhone. The actor playing Jared stole that scene. Overall, sitting through this film was not an enjoyable experience.
