Netflix always hits it out of the park when it comes to heartfelt family movies, and their latest flick Nonnas is no exception. It's all about family, friendships, and delicious Italian comfort food. Literally what more could you want? And the fact it's directed by The Perks of Being a Wallflower writer-director Stephen Chbosky makes me love it even more.
