"Director Pablo Larrain delivers a masterclass in slow-burn suspense with The Vintner. Viggo Mortensen's anchoring minimalized and internal performance is matched by Walton Goggins enigmatic and smooth-talking support. The film's deliberate pacing and meticulous framing lend a painterly quality to the dark secrets slowly being unraveled." - Gregory Fletcher, Los Angeles Times-Journal
"The Vintner is a film that is carried by an amazing performance by Viggo Mortensen with a dash of seasoning from Walter Goggins' 'villain' (of sorts) and diretor Pablo Larrain's refined style. Though I think the film is more of a thinker than a straight forward narrative which could potentially turn people off its intent." - Jonah Wells, Indiewire
“This could very well be my favourite film penned by Dwight Gallo. It had an uneasy feeling throughout that I just could not shake, then when THAT scene happens with the reveal it all suddenly makes sense. Mortenson plays the title character with great mystery that we never truly know what is happening in his mind, but we know that something always is behind those eyes. Walton Goggins plays his role to perfection, as only he could. I think this too is my very favourite Pablo Larrain film so far. One to watch out for come award season.” - Sydney Machin, Behind the Camera
