TheWrapYolanda MachadoMay 6, 2019
Wine Country shows that women in their 50s are in one of the best phases of their lives, a time to be celebrated, welcomed, and enjoyed with good friends and good wine. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeMay 6, 2019
Wine Country is scrappy and, at times, misjudged but it’s also very, very funny with a cast of women whose collective charm makes the patchier moments forgivable. Watching it with wine helps too. Read full review

ObserverOliver JonesMay 9, 2019
Buried beneath its furious, catch-as-catch-can approach to humor (Wine Country never met a joke it didn’t like), the film is a moving and nuanced portrayal of how difficult it is to be open and vulnerable even to those who love us utterly and without apology. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerMay 7, 2019
Judging by her funny, warm, drawn-from-life feature directing debut Wine Country, Amy Poehler is a gracious friend. She and screenwriters Emily Spivey and Liz Cackowski ensure that the many former “Saturday Night Live” performers and writers assembled for this Napa Valley-set Netflix comedy get moments to shine.

VarietyPeter DebrugeMay 6, 2019
The friends we see on-screen are equally close in real life, and the outing depicted in Wine Country was inspired by similar trips they’ve made together. That explains the second-nature chemistry that makes them so much fun to watch, even when the shenanigans...leave one longing for the outrageousness of an all-female studio comedy like “Bridesmaids” or “Girls Trip.” Read full review

Poehler's adept at showcasing not just the comic gifts of her cast, whose decades-long friendships began in improv theaters and at SNL, but also the joyful vamping that connects their characters. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKatie RifeMay 10, 2019
While the chemistry between the core cast is easy and convincing, generated by skillful banter and impromptu singalongs, the scripted elements of Wine Country are more mixed. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichMay 9, 2019
A pleasant and perfectly watchable comedy that would have died on the vine in theaters, Wine Country is casual viewing done right. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonMay 9, 2019
The movie is at its best when the women are focused on the common enemy: getting older. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMay 9, 2019
Poehler isn’t quite cynical enough to pull off a comedy in which, to paraphrase “Seinfeld,” there’s no hugging and learning, but Wine Country could have been improved by keeping its emotional scenes more in reserve — like a high-end cabernet. Read full review
