Critics Comments
Mariana Chenillo's warm and entertaining feature debut, "5 Days without Nora" (also titled "Nora's Will") may not sound like a comedy, but Chenillo loads the scenario with more Yiddishkeit than a gross of matzo, sure to elicit laughs and knowing nods throughout the Diaspora. Though custom-made for Jewish fests worldwide, "Nora" has amply demonstrated its crossover credentials with a string of awards in Miami, Morelia and Moscow. All the performers appear to thoroughly enjoy themselves, especially vet Lujan, who maintains a marvelously underplayed comic timing yet still gives Jose an emotional heart. - Jay Weissberg, Variety
Nora's Will, however, is not a ha-ha comedy but an insider's smiley discourse on the movable boundaries of love, faith, faithfulness and -- last and fortunately least -- personal interests. Choosing humanism over the pitfalls of melodrama and the temptations of the tremendous, first-time feature director Mariana Chenillo shuffles her chips adroitly -- solid, natural acting; no flashy camera movements; no do-or-die conflicts -- to steer her ultimately pleasing plot to a conclusion as tidy as Nora's apartment and as orderly as her posthumous instructions for Passover dinner. - Orlando Aloma, The Miami Herald
First time director Mariana Chenillo never loses sight of the essential humanity of the situation which, at its core, is the on-going friction between those who believe and those who don’t. –Eleanor Ringel Cater, former lead critic for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
