The Way Back (2020)
Directed by Gavin O'Connor this film stars Ben Affleck, Al Madrigal, Michaela Watkins and Janina Gavankar. An alcoholic who has lost everything becomes the basket ball coach for a high school team.
There is not a huge amount that is original about this high school sports film but it still tells its story really well. I liked the focus on the coach over the team and his battle with depression/alcoholism. At times I wish the film had gone into a little more depth however it still manages to be moving and not overly sentimental thanks to Affleck's performance.
4/5
