Nochebuena

Absolutely loved this holiday movie!! Had it all! Comedy, love, and tear jerking moments. Who doesn't love a great holiday romcom, where serendipitous love play with our emotions of wishing for a happy ending for Christmas. One of my favorite parts of the movie was the traditional "Nochebuena" aka Christmas Eve. The food, music, and the infamous coquito, it's like I can smell the pernil "roast pork" at its last minute in the oven or getting all dolled up just to be in someone's living room. Such a great representation of amazing Hispanic traditions and memories. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy for this holiday season.

The next time I get the question "What's your favorite Christmas movie?" - I will no longer give a long list of the typical classics, or feel uncertain of my answer. My answer will simply be.... Nochebuena!

Nochebuena combined the richness and authenticity of our Latin culture, during the holidays with romance and whole lot of laughter!

Nochebuena so very properly and accurately showcased Latinx culture. There were so many moments where I completed related and just wanted to jump into the movie!!!

Oh, the countless a-ha moments..... :) you've really gotta watch it!

This film is so important because it's going to help audiences understand how there is more than the generic classifications and generalizations about Latinx culture. Our culture, especially during the holiday, is full of love, music, food, diverse family members, traditions and of course.... Coquito!!

The filmmakers have done an excellent job at sharing their perspectives with audiences! The actors all had incredible onscreen chemistry!

BRAVO TO ALL and may this reach the heart and souls of all the world!

Nochebuena achieves something most Latinx/Latino films don't achieve, authenticity.

From the balance of Rene Rosado's character Junior in the big city to Tanairi Sade Vazquez's Jennifer still in the hometown feel.

Elba, The Mom felt like a MOM.

Jennifer's cousin is literally all of our cousins, from gossip to wingman to that horrible sign!

The feel of coming back home for the holidays to see what could've been is something we can always explore & Nochebuena does that.

I think what I enjoyed most about this movie is the subtleties, the choice of house, the food on the table, the kitchen scenes, the flashback's weren't forced, it added depth to the story.

It will seriously become a favorite because the audience regardless of where they're from will be able to see themselves on screen.

This film, Nochebuena, masterfully intertwines the heartwarming essence of family, tradition, and culture. Seamlessly navigating relationships, the film presents relatable characters who grapple with genuine emotions, delivering a poignant reminder of the strength found in unity. Its portrayal of the holiday spirit is captivating, evoking warmth and hope among viewers. A perfect choice for gatherings, this beautiful film earns a resounding 10 out of 10 recommendation for its ability to resonate deeply and kindle the festive cheer within families, friends, and the Latin community. Definitely will be a favorites film added to watch during the holidays!

The Director did a job well done on this one! Light, love, laughter and simple joy is what you can get from this movie! I often walk away disappointed as I just feel like movies aren't made like they use to, but not with this film. Go grab some popcorn and a loved one and enjoy this very well put together film that will make your heart smile! Do you ever feel like you wish you could get a second chance with the one who got away? Watch this film to see what happens. I also love this hispanic culture behind it! See it, watch it, love it! I hope this movie gets the attention it deserves, it truly is a good one!
