Coffee Wars (2023)
An Orgy of Caffeinated Money Shots
The Espresso Strikes Back in this high-octane Comedy that had me Jonesing for a Cuppa Joe from the moment I hit Play.
Whether you're a Coffee Connoisseur or not, you'll absolutely want to sip your favorite Elixir while steeping in this full-bodied Satire. Sure to become for Java Junkies what "Cocktail" is for Mixologist Mavens, what "Half-Baked" is for Cannabis Culture, what "Beerfest" is for Libation Lovers, and what "Fight Club" is for Soap Salespersons... "Coffee Wars" pours fast-paced Quirk for the well-versed palette of Baristas and their flock of Mud Maniacs.
Writer/Director Randall Miller's (CBGB, Bottle Shock, The Sixth Man, Houseguest) passion for all things Cafe' is unquestionable, with a Shakespearean-like articulatory agility that would give Ol' Willy himself the Shakes. Miller's brilliantly brewed dialogue is deliciously percolated by an All-Star Cast led by Kate Nash (Rhonda Richardson of "GLOW") with Toby Sebastian (Trystane Martell of "Game of Thrones"), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin Quinn of "Derry Girls"), and Owain Arthur (Prince Durin IV of "The Rings of Power").
How such powerhouses from the United Kingdom came together under the Salary Cappuccino for an Indie Film whose proceeds go 100% to Environmental and Animal Welfare Charities is beyond me... but Closed Captioning definitely aids the typical Americano with catching all those rapid-fire punchlines!
And yes, folks, there is a strong Environmental message amidst this fast-paced take on the World Barista Championships (which is a legit thing-- a decade of winners' pictures punctuate the end credits!)... so file this under Charming *and* Progressive. Change comes better Latte' than never!
"Coffee Wars" doesn't just Talk the Talk; it Moonwalks the Mocha.
