Back to Burgundy

"As rich and earthy as a fine French wine, Cédric Klapisch’s Burgundy-set family drama draws character from the soil on which it's set."

"Cédric Klapisch's drama, co-written by a vintner, is an authentic love letter to the wine business, but as drama it lacks the subtlety of a vintage."

"Have you come back from your holiday brimming with buy-your-own-vineyard fantasies? Slake that thirst with this French art house crowd-pleaser."

"Mr. Klapisch lingers his camera lovingly over shots of grapes being harvested and stomped, all the while employing story mechanics and flashbacks indelicate enough to suggest the churn of a factory juicer."

"A rather sentimental, soft-edged film."

"Warm without sacrificing integrity, pleasant but not to a fault, "Back to Burgundy" is satisfying rather than earth-shaking."

"Too slow and too shrill."
