Sideways Reviews

this is an open letter to Sandra Oh if you’re ever in my area please beat the shit out of me

Mmm mid. Didn’t love

This movie is probably certified to make you open a wine bottle while you watch it and like good wine it’s actually very smooth to consume. It really takes its time to get you to sit with the complexity of its two main characters that will make feel sympathetic to them in spite…

8+

Not my favourite Alexander Payne film but one that carries his distinct style and characterisation. Paul Giamatti gives an excellent performance as always and so does Spider-Man 3 sandman. It becomes a little too raunchy at times but never loses you

really liked this despite the men being the worst people ever, especially Jack… but equally Miles. The non stop wine theme really made me feel thirsty. In end i actually loved Miles’ character development and I hope he’s happy.

a strangely great blend of hilarious and off-beat moments coupled with moving commentary on mental health and being “successful.” i personally felt connected to the characters and their driving forces. perfect acting, writing, cinematography, music; paul giamatti is just amazing

What an amazing movie with flawless performances against the lush backdrop of NapaValley. It's both funny and sad, unpredictable and offbeat. Gets better every time you watch it, like a fine wine 🍷 😉

Girlfriend didn’t like it. I loved it, Hayden Christensen is such a wreck and Paul Giamatti is a refined wreck. Not a must watch but if you’re looking

An incredibly heartfelt, comedic view of midlife crisis, depression, and celebrating life’s simple pleasures. An indie-darling for sure, but this is far more than award-bait cinema. This one has all the feels, and it is worthy of multiple viewings. It tastes so f¥£!^& good.

Really well written and characters were fully fleshed out. Great acting. Think this would’ve blown my mind in 2004 when it came out, and I realize this movie probably paved the way for other similarly paced indie movies, but I just felt like it was good, not great.

Saw this when it came out and I was far too young to enjoy. Now that I can watch with a Napa Cab in hand, it really does make all the difference. Touching and darkly funny look at how middle age can go…Sideways..in completely different ways. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!!

The hangover but calmer

Honestly such a mid movie that I’d forgotten I’d already watched it

Mofos today would call this woke since they aren’t going through bourbon country

9/10

both fun and awfully sad

“If anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing Merlot!" LMFAO BRO AINT PLAY ABOUT HIS WINES

Wine tasting, friendship and depression, what more could you want in a film?

Very well done and enjoyable. A touch slow but not necessarily in a bad way. Incredible acting and a great script.
