Sideways (15) 123 mins

"In search of wine. In search of women. In search of themselves."

Miles is a failed writer with a passion for wine.  Divorced and depressed, he ekes out an existence as an English teacher in San Diego.  Jack is a minor actor who is about to get married.  The two have been friends since college days when they were room-mates.  Now they are nearing middle age with not much to show for it. In lieu of a stag night they embark on a road trip through California's wine country  during which they explore the nature of their failures and question their relationships.

"Sideways is beautifully written, terrifically acted; it is paced and constructed with such understated mastery that it is a sort of miracle.  New classics of American cinema don't come along that often, so grab this one with both hands."  Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"The best human comedy of the year"  Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
