Reviews

“Monsieur Mayonnaise” is an eye-catching, engrossing romp sure to play well in the art house equivalent of the Borscht Belt." Variety

"Graham tells the Moras' story just as the Moras themselves would: vividly, optimistically and with unflagging good humor. And a love of food and art delivers this family, and the film, out of the recesses of despair." NPR

"The connectivity of memory, legacy and family is defined with a playful yet profound dexterity in Trevor Graham’s soulful, inspiring documentary." - Screen-Space

"A colourful portrait of holocaust heroism." - The New Zealand Herald

"From LA to Berlin, Paris to Melbourne, Monsieur Mayonnaise is a richly layered, road movie starring madcap artists, comic stories, real life heroes, Nazi villains … and baguettes with lashings of tasty French mayonnaise!" Laurie Gordon, Filmfestivals
