The Tender Bar is a bittersweet coming-of-age story about growing up with an absent father. Director George Clooney adapts the film from the memoir by J.R. Moehringer. We first see the author as a boy, and then as a reserved teenager going to Yale. The Tender Bar is quite moving at times with sentimental performances from Tye Sheridan and Ben Affleck. The film does a good job of establishing bonds between the primary characters. It loses focus in the third act by drawing out a somewhat obvious resolve. That said, the overall tone builds endearment and affinity for the author’s journey to adulthood.
