Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Sheila O'MalleyThe footage of Bordeaux is awe-inspiring, with aerial shots of the great chateaux and the vineyards. Closeups of the labels from the different chateaux abound, along with luscious shots of glimmering wine being poured. The obsessive nature of the entire industry is reflected in these shots, a good marriage of theme and form.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonSly, sometimes funny documentary version of Bottle Shock, with China playing the role of 1970s Napa as it creeps up to smack the snooty Old World wine snobs.
ABC Radio (Australia) - 9/10 by CJ JohnsonAs much an examination of contemporary Chinese character, ambition and taste as it is of the Chateaux and wines of Bordeaux ... globe-trotting, hugely informative and thoroughly entertaining ... crafted with as much care as the wines we see onscreen.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Nick SchagerSteeped in centuries of custom and dependent on the ever-fickle relationship between soil, weather, and human craftsmanship, the work is likened by Francis Ford Coppola to a “miracle,” and one that tells a story about the time, place, and circumstances that gave each vintage its birth.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Kenji FujishimaOffers the ins and outs of the world of wine as an implicit metaphor for art appreciation, from both aesthetic and financial standpoints.
The Sunday Age - 8/10 by Ed GibbsThe film, which premiered at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival in New York, proves remarkably enlightening.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Nicole HerringtonRed Obsession, a little too stuffed for its nearly 80 minutes, may already be dated, since China’s wine fever has cooled recently. Still, the movie raises legitimate concerns about the cultural and economic implications of status-minded overconsumption.
Variety - 7/10 by Ronnie ScheibThe film’s rather simplistic cultural juxtapositions, pitting artistic appreciators against status-seeking philistines, work best when narrowly focused on the subject of wine.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 7/10 by Matthew ToomeyWho'd have thought a film combining red wine with economics could be so informative and entertaining? Red Obsession is one of the year's best documentaries.
Urban Cinefile - 7/10 by Louise KellerLike a fine wine whose pleasures go far beyond its bouquet, the winding journey of this Australian co-production (with France, UK, China and Hong Kong) is long and far-reaching
