movie review - Sideways
the journal of Michael Werneburg
Toronto, 2015.01.14
I saw this a second time, recently, and felt that some of its shine had worn off. Both characters are a little too fully fleshed out; one feels neurotic and the other feels like a selfish prick. I don't know if the author(s) were going for an ego/id thing here or what, but the story's grounded in the realities of two people and one is a bit too retched (stealing cash from his mother to afford the trip) while the other is too blithe in his womanizing.
Recommended. But no longer "Strongly".
