Watch A Good Year For Free

A Masterpiece!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I have always been annoyed at missing this in the cinema but have now watched it many times on dvd. This is one of those sorely under rated classic films which is almost perfect with it's warmth and beauty. It touches the heart and soul in so many ways, yet is also witty and gritty in comparing the London trader world and the laid back Provence life. Whenever you feel life getting on top of you put this dvd on, you will not be disappointed. A truly wonderful film with a eclectic soundtrack.

I know its an old film but I've watched this numerous times and love it. personally think this film is a total change of direction for ridley scott and crowe plays a very good part. I have learned to enjoy russel crowes movies and find that his talent as an actor is getting better.. just like the wine in this movie. the whole film is very good and the throwbacks to when max skinner was younger adds even more character to the film. all the actors play a very good part and they make this film very enjoyable. as for Marion Cotillard.. wow.. she is absolutely stunning and its no wonder she is even more popular some years down the line.. I also think the relationship between max and henry is probably more comparable to a lot of families these days. as to the location of the movie.. who wouldn't want to spend a fantastic summer in that location. would I recommend this movie. oh yes. without a doubt.

This is an entertaining movie. I watched it when it came out in 2006, and then recently read the book by Peter Mayle, in 2016. I re-watched the movie and noted some differences. I think the movie watered down, as it is, is just as good a story. In the book, Max quits his job within four hours of the story and he is destitute. In the movie, he resigns and gets a significant golden parachute, i.e. lots of zeroes. The book has more intrigue, with much emphasis on fraud, the lawyer and people impersonating police. In the book, Charlie Willis is a former brother in law and real estate agent, and just the latter in the movie. However, the movie is wonderful, the music enchanting, and now that I am familiar with Marion Cotillard, as Fanny, I am a happier person. Surprising how far down in the credits she was

One of my favorite movies of all timesFirst of all, Max is a classic trader, brilliant, wealthy and arrogant, it provide he a great sense for business and trade money. Smart he know how to play with the market. Definitely he isn't the most adorable man in the City, for another hand is undeniable his talent to change the social status quo for his interests.Besides all it, he still is a great human, with a hearth to do good things, all the story change when he meets a beautiful woman with a strong ethical sense. Although his instinct sense for hunting, he is the prey, using all his charm and intelligence he start not just bring back a young prodigious boy, but a old, but not, forgot passion. He din't know but everything is already planned, in a mysterious way.The great lesson of this movies isn't about money, is about what a Good Years really is: a simple back to our pass with a evolution to our old dreams of kid.I strong recommend this movie.
