George Clooney On ‘The Tender Bar’s’ Big Success On Amazon, A New Movie With Brad Pitt, Plus How He And Julia Roberts Were Shut Down In Australia
Oscar nomination voting started today, and George Clooney as he has often in his career, has a movie that deserves consideration in The Tender Bar which so far has been somewhat unfairly overlooked in critics and guild award nominations but is the kind of small gem, a family dramedy and coming-of-age story, that I think is the finest directorial job Clooney has done since Good Night And Good Luck. Apparently those who have caught the film in its streaming run that began on January 7 on Amazon Prime agree. In fact the streamer says the movie, which is based on JR Mohringer’s memoir of growing up in Long Island where the patrons of his Uncle Charlie’s bar basically stood in as father figures for him, had one of the best debuts of any original movie on Prime Video, currently in their top 10 movie releases of all time, and opened globally on the service worldwide in over 240 countries and territories where it was #1 in its opening week. It has also been getting a large amount of five star reviews from users on the site.
