My Name is Bill W.

A BarAmerica review.

(1989) James Woods, Jobeth Williams,
Gary Sinise, James Gardner

Based on the true story of Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and his struggles to keep his own addiction under control. Solid performances are turned out all around by this impressive cast. James Woods won an Emmy for his searing portrayal of Bill, a hard drinking, free-wheeling financial broker and investor that gradually surrenders his life and everything precious in it to alcoholism until it becomes all-consuming, forcing him to lose his job, his friends, and his dignity. A powerful, moving tale full of pathos and ugly truths, one that every casual drinker should watch and ponder.
