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.

Kudos to all narrative filmmakers who use their tools to make a movie that tries to do good in the world. May there be more folks in Hollywood who follow this lead. Coffee Wars will make you laugh and make you think. With any luck, it might even encourage you to try to save this planet one cup of coffee at a time. I hope so. All the revenue made from this film will be given to environmental charities, animal charities, and organizations dedicated to the betterment of this world and those of us who want to keep living off of it for generations to come. It is incumbent upon all of us to try to make this world a better place. Watch the film. It might teach you a thing or two, and if not, you might just have a few hearty laughs.

Amazing show ive watched this before and i like the plot and great characters as well. Im loving the pacing of the movies and it shows that people can do best when they try to do it. I super love the idea of this film because personally i like coffee hahahaha and i think this is a great movie not just for coffee lovers but for people who like to watch something fun and interesting. The main character shows that she is passionate about what she does and doesn't think twice before doing it for as long as she wanted something she do it with whole heart. Coffee wars is a recommend film for all ages.

True. A Vegan, female business owner trying to make it in a non-female, non-Vegan world seems an unlikely seed for a film, but I'll be damned if it isn't a whole lot of fun. Kate Nash is a star. Her comedic timing is inherent, and she clearly believes in the material. All of her supporting players are well cast and just as funny (if not funnier) than Miss Nash. The look and pace of the film are vibrant and caffeinated and both enhance the experience. I laughed more than I thought I would. I came to care about these characters, and I teared up a time or two. Finally, I've begun buying oat milk instead of half & half, a change I'm happy to make and I have this film to thank.

When the underground latte competition in the movie came on I was in heaven! It was The Fight Club of Latte Art! This film was so inventive and special. It combines a social message with balls to the wall comedy! I have never seen anything like it. It's on the one hand Pitch Perfect or Dodgeball but on the other it is as wonderfully absurd as Everything Everywhere All At Once... without the buttplugs! Although there is a scene where a guy eats coffee beans, poops them out and roasts them... "A tangy yet savory flavor!" The cast is great too, reminds me of The Full Monty or Fisherman's Friend with a wonderful ensemble of Brit actors, mostly. One thing I do really appreciate is the PWD actor who plays the main barista judge, I applaud the filmmakers for casting an actual PWD for that role. A role that doesn't even call for it. Truly, a great ride, boatload of laughs, a few important messages laced in and a great way to spend the evening.

Coffee Wars was an enjoyable watch. The theme centres around Jo who Is a strong advocate of Oat Milk. For the first ten or fifteen minutes I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the film as the colour palette , voice over, general cinematography and set design took a bit of getting used but as the film went on it was clear to see that the style really did suit the story being told. Jo moved out of her parents place, who own a successfully diary producing farm in their own right, to open an independent vegan coffee shop. As she and her shop begin to struggle financially, Jo has to decide whether to enter the World Barista Championships that she's previously had issues with, not least because Oat Milk is banned in many aspects of the competition. The film tests Jo's beliefs and principles as well as those of her friends and employed whilst also taking a look at some of the faults of high street chains and it did it all in the setting of a quirky independent coffee shop. The support characters do a good job of bringing enough laughs and charm to the film although they can be over the top in certain places. The visuals during the coffee making scenes are great. I especially enjoyed the underground coffee battle scene, my favourite scene of the movie. Whilst it took a bit of getting used to, Coffee Wars won me over as an enjoyable comedy with a decent message. I hear all that all profits will be donated to charity, good on the team for that one.

While the movie subject matter seemed well researched, both from the coffee world and the 'Save the Planet' perspectives, we found it otherwise very disappointing. It depended entirely on obscenities, cheap inuendo and poor toilet humour in place of true comedy to get across what could have been a powerful message. Instead it came across as a joke, it cheapened the subject. There were a lot of unnecessary and explicit sexual references which were insulting to the adult viewer and irrelevant to the story. What a waste of an opportunity to promote a worthy and important cause. I'm sorry I wasted the money and the time on it.

This movie so amazing, the movie story about Coffee aficionado Jo is doing her best to stay afloat running her own coffee shop alongside a band of unpredictable colleagues, but nothing seems to be going her way. She can make a latte better than anyone, but her customers have trouble getting past one thing: her coffee shop is vegan. Drowning in debt and with everything on the line, Jo and her team of misfits gear up as the underdogs for the World Barista Championships, where she'll face her "full fat full cream" archrival Rudy. Jo will finally have a chance to prove herself in the dairy-dominated world of coffee, and, most importantly, win the big cash prize.
