Linda Barnard Toronto Star Sep 26, 2013
2.5/4
Despite being a rather thin, by-the-books documentary that abruptly changes course at the halfway mark, Red Obsession tells a fascinating financial tale about the rise of "wine fever" in China. Go to Full Review
Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times Sep 12, 2013
3.5/5

Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Sep 6, 2013
3.5/4
A film about obsession, about wine-mania, about people who live, breathe, eat, think, drink wine. Go to Full Review
Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Mar 1, 2019
