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 is exactly what the world needs right now! A traditional Christmas love story, the one that makes you feel all of the feels! From the storyline, the decor, the hometown feel, amazing chemistry between the actors and actresses, the music and food, and all of the Latin Christmas traditions (can't forget to mention the coquito!)... this movie definitely hit it out of the park.

If you're wanting to feel like you're reminiscing in your childhood or trying to connect with the Latin culture, this is definitely the movie you'll want to watch!

Amazing job to everyone involved in bringing this story/vision to life!

This film was captured the very essence of what a Latino Christmas Eve can be like. A night of drama, love, jokes, music, memories, and more drama. The Christmas angle was an incredible touch to the film. It captured a very refreshing love story that's family friendly. Acting and production are done so well you forget it's an indie. It was easy to see that writers and producers has first hand insight into what the Spanish culture does on Christmas Eve. This is a great film that can be enjoyed by the family every year. The comedic performance in this film was particularly worthy of praise. Overall just a great watch.

Great work on this project.

This movie is bound to become a classic every Xmas.

Is a movie for the whole family and to remind our new generation of all of our traditions from the Caribbean.

The cast feels like family, the director did an amazing job and the script got no flaws.

This movie is one for the ages. Made to last a lifetime.

The Latino community needed something like this.

This movie will connect with your inner child and take you back in time.

You will revive your childhood with this movie it will make you cry,laugh and remember all those family reunions we used and still love definitely a latino masterpiece.

From start to finish, Nochebuena had my undivided attention. I was laughing and crying between scenes. Brought back so many memories with my family and friends. The details of the holiday home decor to the great city locations, had me reminiscing. The actors did an excellent job portraying the characters. The friendships and relationship amongst each of them was honestly magical. I will say, the movie wasn't long enough for me. I didn't want the movie to end. There may need to be a part 2 (wink wink). This film is definitely the one you'll never forget about during the holidays. Cheers to you!

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.
