FROM THE VINE (Napa Valley Film Festival, Napa Valley, California USA 2019)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

From the Vine—inspirational—can easily become a favorite watch of the year. Joe Pantoliano does a perfect rendition of the main character with a supporting cast that portrays the interactions of a small Italian village and its diverse personality types with love and appreciation for each one. Excellent script examines the human condition with loving and forgiving eyes. Don’t miss this watch. The story is very good. The movie deserves a place in the home video library.
