November 12, 2011The half of this film that is an actual, serious documentary, is thoughtful and endearing, while the attempt at offhand humor bleeds false and uninteresting. Feeling padded to reach the 90 minute mark, this film would have worked much better as a shorter film. The lower thirds in... read more

March 18, 2011A meandering documentary that never finds its center. It attempt to do this humorous talk-show bit that never becomes humorous. If after 15-20 minutes your bored it doesn't get better. The wine and his life are interesting, but it never really gets to any interesting stuff.

January 22, 2011Not entirely interesting, but watchable. If MJK wasn't so up his own ass, it would be nice, and if this doc focused more on humor and James Suckling/the other vineyards, it would be awesome. Alas, I'm not a huge drinker and could give a shit about any wine tasting, etc.

January 7, 2012In terms of film techniques, Blood into Wine is a fairly mundane representation of Maynard James Keenan's efforts with music and wine, however, Keenan's sincerity, colorful cameos by modern celebrities, and a fairly interesting story make this movie worth watching. The film open... read more

December 14, 2010A well-put together documentary combining great humor and feeling of the Tool frontman's venture into winemaking.

October 24, 2010Well made documentary I thought. It didn't go through much of the process of making wine, it was more about the building of the vineyard, the people behind the wine (mainly Keenan) and meaning behind the wines they make.

September 26, 2010Had I not already been a large Maynard James Keenan fan, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this documentary at all. It's rather disjointed, and haphazardly thrown together in parts; however Maynard being such a compelling, drawing individual that he is, really seems to hold the f... read more

Mike Scott, Times-Picayune
It's edgy, it's funny, it revels in doing things its own way -- but it's also smart, offering an edifying inside peek into an industry that doesn't always welcome outsiders. Full Review

Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
While the film contains some interesting tidbits about both wine and Keenan, and some unexpected humor by comedians like Patton Oswalt and Bob Odenkirk, the movie never really justifies its existence ... Full Review

Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star
This well-made film chronicles the sweat, tears, false starts and massive expenditures involved in getting such an operation up and running. Full Review

Jeff Vice, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Co-directors Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke manage to stuff a lot of facts into their film. This may be one of the more informative, nonfiction movies made about winemaking. Full Review

Shaula Clark, Boston Phoenix
Surely everyone can appreciate the gorgeous Verde Valley vistas and out-of-left-field celebrity cameos, which include Bob Odenkirk as a grape-mauling French wine snob. Full Review

Enjoyment of Blood Into Wine will likely be determined by one's passion for winemaking, or for Keenan himself. Full Review
