Movie Review: The Tender Bar (2022). Netflix.

Ben Affleck plays a key supporting role in a sensitive coming of age tale about a young boy with an abusive and absent father, who is growing up with the support of his mother's large, chaotic family, and particularly the help and fatherly guidance of his bartender uncle (Affleck), and the rowdy group of local working class guys who hang out at his neighborhood bar.  

 

Based on the J.R. Moehringer autobiography, and produced by George Clooney.  Recommended.
