George Clooney is back behind the camera for The Tender Bar, a coming-of-age story starring Ben Affleck and Tye Sheridan. The feature film, Clooney’s eighth as director, is based on the memoirs of American author JR Moehringer, who found substitutes for his absent father at his uncle Charlie’s New York pub. “It was nice. It was gentle. It was kind, and I don’t often do films like that,” Clooney told Reuters on Sunday, at the London Film Festival premiere of the drama.
