The Abstainer (2019)
Adam had his life ahead of him; all that was left was to finish his exams and apply to university. To fight off boredom and to feel relaxed and funny, he turned to alcohol. Then came the trouble. Now at a rehabilitation centre for alcoholics, he initially defies the strict regime here. His views of the treatment and himself change only thanks to an empathetic therapist. The inhospitable environment becomes a place of self-reflection on an event that irreversibly changed Adam's life.

Reviews
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
