The Tender Bar (Amazon)

[Sylvio Constabel]

Directed by Academy Award® Winner George Clooney
Written by Academy Award® Winner William Monahan
Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning author J.R. Moehringer's memoir "The Tender Bar"

Starring Academy Award® Winner Ben Affleck, Tye Sheridan, Christopher Lloyd, Lily Rabe

The Tender Bar tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Affleck), is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd) — J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams — with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar. The Tender Bar is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by J.R. Moehringer.

Bis auf nen guten Auftritt von Affleck richtig kacke.

Ben Affleck fand ich auch stark, hab ihn lange nicht mehr so charismatisch gesehen. Die Rolle war aber auch dankbar.
Ansonsten war das glattgeschliffene Coming-of-Age Langeweile mit doofer Hauptfigur und ziemlich hässlichem Color Grading.
Verschenkt.

Bei THE LAST DUEL kriegt man Ben Affleck auch in stark, aber der Film dazu ist halt auch noch gut .
