Where to Watch Sideways
- George BananzaJune 18, 2025Merlot loses its nobility.
- Mareko PanapaAugust 3, 2026Love this movie with his serious and comical script executed really well by Giamatti and Madsen. The emotional battle Giamatti portrays is true to form as his character tries to keep his head above water post a divorce. Madsen portrays her character with conviction and patience.
