Julia Roberts plays a mom whose son returns unexpectedly from a drug rehab on Christmas Eve, seemingly ready to test his mother’s patience and unconditional love in “Ben is Back.” The melodrama plays out smoothly enough thanks to director-screenwriter Peter Hodges, who got sterling performances out of the cast, great production values, and high-quality writing.
The cast includes Julia Roberts, Lucas Hedges, Courtney B. Vance, Rachel Bay Jones, Kathryn Newton, Alexandra Park, Michael Esper, Henry Stram, and Kristen Griffith. The watchable “Ben is Back” was a box office flop for Black Bear Pictures, 30West, Color Force, and Lionsgate Films. It was filmed in Rockland County and Westchester County, New York.
