New on DVD
In the 20th Century Fox film “Win Win” directed by Tom McCarthy ( “The Visitor”), Paul Giamatti stars as Mike Flaherty, a small town lawyer struggling to support his family. Moonlighting as a high school wrestling coach, he stumbles across a star athlete (Alex Shaffer) as he makes some questionable business dealings while trying to make ends meet. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy’s troubled mother (Melanie Lynskey) shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything.
Giamatti is compelling as a decent person in over his head.
