Ty Burr Boston Globe "Uncorked" pours an old, old wine into an unexpected new bottle, and while the results are hardly vintage, it still goes down better than two-buck chuck. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 5, 2020 Full Review D. Watkins Salon.com Captures an energy that's far too common in modern culture in regards to what we pursue, why we pursue it, and the way we dream. We all should be paying attention. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Karen Han Polygon The film isn't without its flaws, but they're all forgivable in light of how well it hits the feel-good bullseye. Mar 30, 2020 Full Review Kolby Mac InSession Film You may have thought this was your run of the mill Springtime comfort movie primarily for black audiences. You couldn’t be farther from the truth. Rated: A- Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Uncorked” as enjoyable as a plate of Louis’ scrumptious ribs. Okay, maybe not that good, but you get what I’m saying. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Williamson Home Page I've got a very soft spot for well-made movies where adults just figure things out without a lot of pomp and circumstance. I love movies that just embrace life for what it is and keep a positive spin on everyday goals. I loved this one. Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Soundtrack, plot, script and acting were all very enjoyable Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Van J A great story that explores the unique relationship of a father and son who see life differently. Excellent acting and creative production created an unpredictable and refreshing film for fans to enjoy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Alissa R This movie had promise, but felt a bit choppy and unfinished, both in editing style and story. Like how they brought up the family tension with the sister but then did nothing with it. Or whether or not the girlfriend pursues nursing instead of just a receptionist. Or the fact that I literally just watched the movie and cannot remember either of their names. The movie rushes ahead at some points with dramatic jumps with no corresponding story, but then creates slow pockets of "atmospheric" cinematography and music breaks that I started fast-forwarding through. It creates a build-up where you want things to succeed, but then resolves nothing. Even the father-son relationship, which seemed to be improving, seems to regress at the very end. Promising, kinda likeable, but ultimately disappointing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Dane B. M I'm not a wine drinker and I loved it. There's a quiet humor here that transcends every scene. Quite unique and pleasantly amusing. Open a bottle and watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Chris C I thought the screenplay was original and clever- with the acting, and editing excellent! Overall the movie was well done despite the ambiguous ending. - but several competent performances by those in key roles made it work. This was a solid film I could recommend to nearly anyone.interested in career choice dilemmas. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Alana K Fails to deliver! There will be spoilers. I hung in with this slow movie because the premise of a young man from modest means setting his heart on becoming a somelier was intriguing. Unfortunately, although the movie set the viewer up for an uplifting emotional payoff, it doesn't reward the viewer with the ending we deserve. I waited 104 minutes for a happy ending that never appeared. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
