George G Feb 19, 2019 I loved this movie and watch it once a year. Albert Finney, Marion Cotillard & Russell Crowe, the very best actors and wonderful story. See more

George R Feb 11, 2019 A Good Year came out during the Russell Crowe-Ridley Scott collaboration which was at the time seemed like it would never end. However, unlike Gladiator which is a high-octane action film, A Good Year is the polar opposite. A Good Year is a respectable retelling of the "back to nature" narrative, in which a selfish individual becomes seduced and saved by a pastoral setting and a pretty woman who lives there. Sound familiar? Although there's nothing surprising in Ridley Scott's version, gorgeous photography and strong acting keep the formula from becoming stale. For those who don't mind pictures that fall into predictable rhythms, A Good Year represents a pleasant diversion. For anyone interested in Vine, the French countryside, sunny relaxed films A good year is a good time spent.(A low-brow collaboration between Scott and Crowe). See more

Leia S Nov 19, 2018 With the exception of the "stockbroking" scenes, which I found utterly simplistic and silly, the rest of the story is really great. A lovely soundtrack and excuisite visuals, and lots of humour, it's a nice way to spend part of an afternoon. Worth a 2nd viewing, as like a fine French wine, it gets better with age. See more

Han L Oct 28, 2018 Watched it last night funny charming and great entertainment

Kylo W Oct 28, 2018 I watched this movie last night. It was magical funny and good entertainment. I really do not understand what these so called critics disliked about this. Movies don't have to have gender or social issues, or feature some misfit to be quality. Enchanting in the best old Hollywood tradition is the best way to describe this movie See more

George R Feb 5, 2018 Once again I must disagree greatly with the critics--this film is sweet and charming and has a message that I just love! Making money is not really something that should possess a person to the exclusion of all else and is not worth missing the most important things in life--love, family, friends, the beauty of the world, and life at a slow enough pace to enjoy all of the formerly mentioned very valuable things. The movie demonstrates this message with warm humor and not some dramatic "Eureka" moment when heavenly angels appear, but a slow dawning realization when Max is forced to come back to his uncle's vineyard where he spent his happiest moments. Just loved it! See more
