“The Tender Bar” has the straight-shooting, honest uncle whose true self gets poisoned by nostalgia. You know this one; he’s the tough guy who cusses in front of you when you’re a kid, promises to always tell you the truth, and gives you romantic advice that will prove useless.

The Tender Bar in select LA & NY theaters Dec. 17, 2021, and in theaters nationwide Dec. 22, 2021.
It’s nice to see George Clooney ramping up his frequency in the director’s chair since Suburbicon (2017) because he’s certainly not interested in repeating himself. His follow up to last year’s moody and reflective sci-fi adaption The Midnight Sky is another adaptation, this time of Pulitzer Prize-winning author J. R. Moehringer’s memoir, The Tender Bar.
While both films have painful family dynamics simmering in their hearts, The Tender Bar might as well be the polar opposite of The Midnight Sky in tone, aesthetic, and pacing. It follows Moehringer’s life from his impressionable boyhood in the ‘70s, living with his single mother at her parents’ Long Island home, through to his college life at Yale and his first job out of school in New York City.
