Uncorked

This is right up there with other great foodie movies. Every character has tons of charm and charisma and every joke is just right.

Life is never a straight line. Very few of us are doing what we thought we would be doing, or arrived in the manner we thought we would. This movie is a direct reflection of that.

One particular scene, without ruining it, is near the very end. I won't explain it but I hope you will recognize it when you see it. The way the director/writer worked in the imagery and what he was struggling with at that particular time was incredibly effective.

This is not a movie about wine or becoming a sommelier although there are aspects of that. It is a movie about relationships, family life and respect and love. A movie bout ambition and fulfilling dreams that both you have and others have for you. The characters seemed normal and there is so much going on that is relatable. Highlight for me was the terrifically chosen soundtrack. I really enjoyed this.

We really enjoyed this movie! It was very realistic, unpredictable, BEAUTIFULLY acted, well written, funny in many moments without trying and very touching. Very, very well done and a breath of fresh air.

My wife & I recently visited Napa Valley last October for our anniversary, & attended a few wine tastings in Barcelona the year before. So I was definitely familiar with the subject matter(my wife's has been interested with the wine 🍷 industry for a while now) So this movie was a no brainer recommendation for her. What I really appreciate it about this movie was that it was towed from a Black perspective it wasn't the typical black story so to speak. I really loved Courtney B Vance and Neicy Nash's chemistry on screen. The lead Mamadou Athie, did a great Job with expressing the dilemma with Wanting to pursue your dreams and not disappoint your father I definitely could relate to the on screen performances from him and Courtney B Vance. Really good job, without spoiling anything I think the one great that viewers may have Is the feeling of unfulfillment with the ending. That's not to say that it wasn't a good movie because it was I could just see that being the one critique of the film. I am myself definitely understood the message with him wanting to continue pursuing what he set out to do and I appreciated that.
