Movie Reviews of Uncorked
Movie Review: Refreshingly Spiritual and Delightfully Human
Summary: 5 Stars
Practically Buddhist in his philosophical beliefs, eccentric uncle Nigel Hawthorne spends his time in comtemplation of the universe(from atop a marble pillar on his vast estate). His meditations enable him to see into the true nature of his family and friends, and so he forces them to face their true desires and destinies. The journey to one's destiny, however, can be a difficult one. The path to love may lead you away from the one you're engaged to, and the path to true happiness away from the object of your desires. Blissfully amusing, insightfull, beautifully choreographed, saturated with skilled performances, and woven deftly with graceful music, this film is a must see! The characters discard their egos and fears and find deep inner peace, which leaves the audience truely sated--a thing few films can inspire. It's the kind of film that unfolds like a budding flower, intelligent but not overly intellectual, and with beauty in the most unexpected places.Movie Review: Dreaming of Utopia
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought Uncorked was absolutely delightful! Some may argue that it is too Utopian, too ideal. But wouldn't you love to find that place? I watched the movie with my parents, and I asked them, "Can we move there?" It wasn't just the beauty of the land, it was the atmosphere: you can be happy without earning money as long as you can find what is right for you. Yes, I am a dreamer. But all I know is I, the dreamer, am a lot happier than everyone else I know. The characters were beautiful as well. Perhaps a little too perfect, but wouldn't you love to know that family? I want to be a part of that family I too am a "young girl with the old spirit" like Laurie. Perhaps I will nevr find the Utopia that Ross and Paul and Laurie and Mya and Uncle Cullen have found, but I will always dream of it. Uncorked made me believe I could find it, if only I can let go and be me.Movie Review: Uncorked Spirit
Summary: 5 Stars
Uncorked is a delightful movie for those who are sick of the same old Hollywood stories. Rufus Sewell's character, Ross, is determined to get rich quick, and after a string of failed ventures is sure an abandoned manganese mine is his ticket. His incredibly successful girlfriend (Minnie Driver) and her pretty, ethereal friend come to help him sell off his family's wine collection. But an eccentric uncle (Nigel Hawthorne), who is currently living on a pillar, is about to give him a "Karmic enema." A great cast, breathtaking scenery and an enchanting soundtrack accompany this beautiful, uplifting movie. I highly recommend this movie to anyone wanting a break from the ordinary. Uncork your own spirit!Movie Review: If you only see one more film, see this one...
Summary: 5 Stars
I could write pages about this movie, yet in the end there is no need. When I first saw this movie, my heart lept. Wonderfully acted, with perfect and moving performances by Rufus Sewell, Nigel Hawthorn, and Minnie Driver. Beautifully choreographed, innovative cinamatography, musical score, and a compelling and unique storyline. This movie has depth, is actually interesting. With profound meaning uncommon in today's shallow world, this is (in my opinion) the best movie made in a long long time. The editor's review was way off on this one. Watch this film and give yourself completely to it. Jump in, and enjoy the fall!Movie Review: Uncorked
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie to be thoroughly enjoyable. It was quirky, but in a very clever and pleasant way. It was so refreshingly different from standard Hollywood fare. Rufus Sewell did an outstanding job in creating the charactor "Ross" in the movie, and the rest of the cast were quite good in their roles too. I consider this movie to be a hidden treasure but I hope it will be discovered by more people who will take time to appreciate the talent of the actors who conveyed so much not only through the dialog but so amazingly through their facial expressions. It will be a real treat for the discerning viewer.
