EDIT
“It turns out that I was very much in a mood to feel the warmth of a screenplay that has so much compassion for the human need for connection, and how gratifying it can be when you give yourself over to vulnerability.” –

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023)

EDIT
“Sure, the film recycles the franchise’s familiar jokes about vegetarianism, everyone being cousins, and pulling your neck tight for photos. But each one made me feel warmer than the one before, like eating through the layers of an amazing spanakopita. ” –
