SOMM Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Bruce Ingram
Somm also provides the sort of general interest that comes from watching anyone involved in an endeavor that requires dedication, discipline and a touch of craziness.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Engaging doc isn't just for wine nerds.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
captures the tension, the drama, resilience of the human spirit with a fine, unfussy clarity and even a touch of whimsy
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Somm is studded with tiny, often amusing observations and insights into the highly specialized profession/obsession of sommelier.
Austin American-Statesman
Emma Janzen
This film will teach you something new about the beverage and the people that make up its world, and at the very least, you will walk away with dozens of new ways to describe the sight, smell and taste of your favorite red, white or ros.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
There's some quirky fun and modest insight along the way, even if the whole process might seem silly to all but the most devoted wine connoisseurs.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Somm," an inside look at wine stewards, attempts to unveil the secrecy of the master sommelier exam, and though the results aren't always vintage, there is some pleasant tasting to be had here.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Four wine-obsessed guys prepare for the grueling Master Sommelier Exam in this highly entertaining doc, which gives a taste not just of that grape profession, but also of male bonding and the obsessive drive for perfection and success.
Seattle Weekly
Brian Miller
By the time we get to Dallas for the big exam, we're so invested in these four funny, personable fellows that failure would be shattering for us too.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
By the end, despite the surface-y quality of the treatment, you're caught up in the suspense, the horse-race aspect of a very particular pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
Variety
Justin Chang
[It's] a Herculean feat that all but requires advanced degrees in wine theory, history, geography, service and, most crucially, tasting, all of which director Jason Wise examines in crisp, quaffable if overlong fashion.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
"Somm" does a fairly impressive job of making wine tasting somewhat cinematic despite its being essentially unfilmable, at least until taste-o-vision comes along.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly suspenseful and informative, but occasionally repetitive and boring. You'll never look at a sommelier the same way again.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
We've seen these guys torture themselves so much, we inevitably get emotionally involved in the final verdict, and drinking to their success is what we'd all like to do.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
"Somm," though an entree into a little-known world, rarely finds a second dimension.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The whole thing is much more fun than you'd imagine watching people drink would be, and by the end, you're surprisingly invested in which of the guys, if any, will pass the final test.
Village Voice
Daphne Howland
Somm caters well to foodies and to anyone who'd like to see a sommelier do more than point to the menu and pop the cork.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It becomes about the drinker instead of the drink and, to be blunt, the drinkers in this film aren't interesting enough to justify its existence.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The subjects are arrogant, anal retentive, and self-regarding, yet for some reason Wise wants us to identify with them.
RedEye
Matt Pais
Kudos to those who become masters, and for a little while the personalities are enough to help Somm amuse. Still, it's more of a niche amuse bouche than a full-bodied doc.
