Like an indistinct red-blend served at a mediocre happy-hour, all the notes are there, but none of them striking a cord.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2018

Sure, wine tragics won't totally buy the story being told here. However, they will wish there was some way they could walk through the screen and live amidst what they are seeing.

It's all quite captivating, especially for wine lovers - and there's a narrative as well.

Three siblings in their thirties... return after the death of their father to the family vineyard where they grew up. It's a modest yet charming legacy: quel domaine!

Images of the fecund countryside or the siblings stomping grapes together may be enough to besot the senses, but beware the murky residue that can cloud the mind.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 30, 2018

...many eye-boggling shots of the vistas covered entirely by fields of grapes that are, in themselves, worth the price of admission...a superb film capturing the ambience of winemaking magnificently and the family disputes that accompany it.

Warm without sacrificing integrity, pleasant but not to a fault, "Back to Burgundy" is satisfying rather than earth-shaking.

As far as winemaking is concerned, Back to Burgundy is rich in vistas of the fabled côtes; stuffed with oenophile info... and studded with casual tastings of wines that most of us can only dream of.

For most of the movie, Klapisch deftly choreographs the human drama.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 28, 2018

While the end results won't surprise anyone who has seen more than a handful of movies, this sense of timelines happening simultaneously gives an unusual, lingering resonance to the film. If it wins awards, you most likely won't mind.
