CriticsCritics: 35

A hard-living dive-bar owner takes a homeless young man under his wing, hoping to prepare him as the bar’s successor. Their uneasy relationship unfolds among the bar’s colorful regulars as both men confront their isolation and begin to change.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tender, character-driven dramas with humor and emotional growth; Not for you if you prefer fast plots, upbeat settings, or action-heavy stories.
