[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.

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

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.

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

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.

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