Critic Reviews for Famous Nathan

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (7)

Filmmaker Lloyd Handwerker treats the project as genealogy rather than corporate image-making. And with home movies and private interviews at his disposal, no one is better equipped to tell this story.

Los Angeles Times
Throughout Famous Nathan there are enough scenes of customers gleefully wolfing down juicy frankfurters to convert even the most staunchly vegetarian viewer.

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
A portrait of a classic rags-to-riches success, and a tough boss who was fanatical about the quality of his fare and the speed of its delivery.

Daniel M. Gold
New York Times
There's a lot to chew on in this family-centered documentary, but the wonderful archival footage of Coney Island adds enough garnish to justify the time.

Terrific documentaries are a dime a dozen; ones this multifaceted are to be cherished.
