Finding the Way Back (2020 Gavin O'Connor)

Written by Brad Ingelsby. Labourer Ben Affleck, an alcoholic with a failed marriage (to Javina Gavankar) and difficult relationship with his sister (Michaela Watkins), is invited back to former high school to coach failing basketball team. There's nothing really original or that interesting going on here, but, y'know. It's engaging enough.

The Way Back was the original title, which is better, but still not good enough. Same Again

The Lost Weekend remains the definitive drinking film.

Eduard Grau has a lens flare thing going on which seems like part of the design. Editor David Rosenbloom is not of course related to Ralph Rosenblum (you idiot).

Coach: Al Madrigal. Team: Brandon Wilson, Will, Ropp, Melvin Gregg, Charles Lott JR.  Da'Vinchi, Ben Irving. Glynn Turman (bartender).
