Watchlist:
JR is a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie, is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father — JR begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams, with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.
Why you might like this:
The Tender Bar offers a heartwarming, character-driven drama directed by acclaimed actor George Clooney, featuring a standout performance from Ben Affleck as the wise, paternal bartender who serves as a father figure to a young boy growing up without one.
