The worst film I have seen in years - By: Juliet Bravo, 24 Nov 2008 
This film is completely crass & completely predictable. Dreadful script & even worse acting.
I actually had to turn it off halfway through. Just glad I didn't buy it!
Oh Ridley Scott - By: J. Simmons, 06 Sep 2008 This (probably) beautiful film by one of my favourite directors was ruined by a musical score (yet again!) drowning out the dialogue. When will they learn less is more???
A Good Year - Ruined - By: M. R. Dow, 31 Jul 2008 Take an excellent story by an expert writer & you can guarantee that oncein the hands of the film makers they will ruin it. This film is an abomination further ruined by an appalling sound track, poor acting & an excecrable screenplay. My advice is to avoid this film like the plague & buy the book!
Perfect for a night in with a bottle of good wine - By: Mrs. Beth Pipe, 14 Apr 2008 
Gentle, predictable but beautifully shot. I loved this film. Yes you can guess the ending within the first 5 mins, but the characters are wonderful - even the 'bit parts' - & the shots of the French countryside are beautiful. You don't always need high octane action & clever twists to make a movie worth watching.
Grab a bottle of wine & a few nice nibbles, curl up on the sofa & enjoy.
A glass of Coin Perdu if you please... - By: A. Beeton, 27 Feb 2008 I almost did not buy this, (as I almost didn't buy master & commander - ) because of Crowe...thinking he couldn't possibly cut the mustardin this type of film...however I was really surprised with his superb acting & the feel good vibe of the film. Was he miscast? I don't think anyone else could have filled the role as fully as he did. The flash backs of his childhood are where the real genius lie - introducing his Uncle & him as a youngster, which add depth to the story & with the ever frequent pop of wine bottles it will soon have you reaching into your wine rack.
As some reviewers have said - the story line is predictable - quite true but with such a good film does it matter? In fact the story line has subtle undertones...which emerge after repeat viewings.
My favorite characters are the duflots...especially Madame Duflot.
