Le goût du vin

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

I live in France so can understand the obsession some have with wine. Why such an overall low rating? This was beautifully acted with a believable open ending. No rush at the end to tie things up. It was great to watch a black film without a feeling of dread.

Yeah yeah it's not accurate... But I also dislike people that write bad reviews over 'historically inaccurate'... It's a nice movie. Nothing super but it entertained!

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.

Prentice Penny did an exceptional job directing. He's definitely in the Barry Jenkins, Ava DúVernay & Issa Rae Club. Actors moved organically through each scene. Courtney Vance and Niecy Nash chemistry was amazing with great timing and Mamoudou Athie impressively nailed the preoccupied sommelier apprentice role.
