From the Vine (2019)
1/10
The trailer should have been the movie
20 June 2021
The 3 minute trailer portrayed a movie about a corporate lawyer who swaps the cut throat board room for the vineyards of Italy.

The trailer was perhaps the cut of the movie that should be been put forward as a short.

Movies such as The Hundred Foot Journey (with Helen Mirren) or A Good Year (with Russell Crowe) are not everyone's cup of tea and it felt From the Vine was aiming for these but got lost in the script, more lost during the filming and that there wasn't enough to piece together a movie that worked.

After the first 10mins the movie gets lost and it then becomes a mashup of scenes that don't feel connected to any story.

Maybe the lead (Marco) was having a breakdown the viewers are not privy too and the Alley McBeal daydreaming scenes were his making sense of what happened during the opening scenes were he fluffs a presentation that we later get shown?

Who knows but the daydreaming was 1990's childlike in its execution and after 25mins I couldn't watch anymore.
