[A] gently whimsical time-travel yarn.

Reminded me of Hal Hartley's The Book of Life - which had Jesus and the devil show up in pre-millennial Manhattan - while translating that film's cool anomie into a fresh, playful, increasingly affecting bonhomie.

Rated: 3/5

This shoddy time-travel romance never locates a tone which nicely fits with the material.

Rated: 1/5

The majority of bum notes here are easily overlooked. Instead, what we find in The Year and the Vineyard is a simple, melancholic fable about love, and one that would go down impeccably with a glass of rioja.

Rated: 3/5

A lost opportunity, and the mercifully brief running time suggests the filmmakers know it.

Rated: 1/5

The odd gag does fall flat and Sez's performance is an acquired taste, but the photography and music are as delightful as the premise of this low-key flight of fancy.

Rated: 4/5

An charming little comedy that’s too short for its good with its time travel premise

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
