A perfect "road trip" movie for a lazy public holiday.
I like. I like quite a lot. Paul Giamatti is superbly morose, Paul H Church makes you wish for a buddy like him and Virgie Madsen made me wish I was an actor just so I could deliver the best lines in this movie:
"I started to appreciate the life of wine, that it's a living thing, that it connects you more to life. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing. I like the think about how the sun was shining that summer and what the weather was like. I think about all those people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I love how wine continues to evolve, how if I open a bottle the wine will taste different than if I had uncorked it on any other day, or at any other moment. A bottle of wine is like life itself - it grows up, evolves and gains complexity. Then it tastes so fucking good."
What a pity Sandra O ran away with the SAG award for Best Ensemble 
Go watch it. [*Sneak peeks here]
