Ben Is Back

(2018)Directed by Peter Hedges103 min · RDrama
“One family. One day.”

It's Christmas Eve morning in a suburban house when Ben Burns (Lucas Hedges), nineteen, shows up unannounced after leaving rehab. His mother, Holly (Julia Roberts), is glad to see him and watches every move he makes, counting the hours he stays clean. Peter Hedges keeps the camera close on Roberts' face through the whole day, so her relief and her fear arrive together.
