Kirk Honeycutt · The Hollywood Reporter 100.00/100.00

Hysterically funny yet melancholy comedy.

阿茶 4.00/5.00

非常现实的中产阶级困境,葡萄酒与文学的精英主义设置了共情的门槛,真情实感的叹息难免会在不同阶级眼中成为无病呻吟。更希望此类影片能有更多女性视角作品;女性在这类题材中太沉默了,永恒的他者与困境制造者,是小怪是boss而不是英雄勇士。对身边人不再怀有希望,打开珍藏的61年白马庄园波尔多红本身就是一场仪式。生活如此,公路电影不一定带来治愈与成长,兜兜转转仍是庸常。喝着勃艮第黑皮诺的夜晚观看,很应景。

Lisa Schwarzbaum · Entertainment Weekly 100.00/100.00

It's an intoxicating feeling when a movie excites and enlivens us like this -- and there's a particular giddiness to be had in thinking about what movies can (but don't often) do for one's soul after imbibing such a fine vintage.
