02/27/2016 Legendary Maynard James Keenan's interest in wine unfolded into his involvement in Jerome, Arizona and his envolving wine brand. The documentary itself is quite avarage, nothing bone-shattering. Maynard is a interesting personality and makes this piece interesting. See more 07/27/2015 Documentary on Tool/A Perfect Circle's Maynard James Keenan and his winemaking endeavor. As a HUGE fan of his work, I was really excited to see another side of this fairly reclusive artist. But instead we see him as part of a film that never quite finds its voice. The attempts at humor really fall flat, especially his "interview" clips. This one is for fans of the band and completists. Expect to be left wanting more. Then again, we Tool fans are used to it. See more 11/10/2014 I'm not a wine drinker so I wasn't fully into this movie. Whereas I am very interested in Maynard Keenan, this documentary didn't grab me. See more 07/29/2014 As much as I love Tool and A Perfect Circle, I just could not get into this bland documentary. Sure he had some help and comic relief from Bon Odenkirk and Patton Oawalt and their scenes were funny.., still couldn't save this or make it interesting enough to watch a second time or recommend to someone. See more 07/26/2014 Blood into Wine never can't decide if it wants to be about Maynard (the 'rock star') or, a couple of blokes defying the odds as winemakers in Arizona. Filled with attempts at comedy, possibly trying to loosen up a topic oft considered snobby and cliquey, it's the factual and serious sections that actually resonate. I'm a wine drinker AND a Tool fan so I probably got more out of this doco than most. See more 11/27/2013 Average documentary about Tool vocalist Maynards James Keenan endeavor in operating his own winery in Arizona. I really thought that this film, though interesting lacked in really giving wine enthusiasts something worthwhile to watch. This is a film more for fans of Tool, and though I really love Keenan's music, I found this film to be lacking. For fans, this film will certainly give you another aspect of Maynard's life. The process that is used in making wines is documented here, but like I said, there is something lacking here to really make this documentary stand out. I liked the documentary, but I've seen better films in the genre. If you're expecting a great documentary, you'll be sadly disappointed. This is a movie strictly for Tool fans, and even then, this may be a disappointment. For a wine making documentary, there should be a much better film than this. I felt that this one just touched the tip of the iceberg of wine making, The film doesn't go in depth into the process, which is what I wanted, and it opens a door into Keenan's other passion other than music. Overall, good, but it should have been much better. Blood Into Wine is only an average documentary on wine making, and it's one of those documentaries that needed to be more elaborate in terms of its subject, and considering that Wine making is such a passion for many people, you'd expect a great movie. Good for what it is, but it's not the definitive wine making documentary. Luckily Tool is a great band, and it's interesting to see this part of Keenan's life, but in the end, that's all this film is. See more Read all reviews
