Prior to its BFI Löndon Film Festival debut (10.10), George Clooney’s The Tender Bar (Amazon, 12.17) has screened this weekend for Los Angeles industry early-birds, and will show again this evening. Upbeat responses so far, particularly for Ben Affleck as a Manhasset bartender with paternal instincts and inclinations. (Thanks to Jordan Ruimy.)
