There is a certain sub-genre that I would call "modest american dramedy" that is recently in much better shape than the rest of the industry. The secret of it's artistic success seems to be in its being unpretentious and sincere. These two qualities seem to be completely erased from today's cinema. Win Win may be not the best one in this genre but it still works beautifully. The plot is so natural yet it has everything to keep the attention, and everything is psychologically realistic.

I like Giamatti but in the 30 I watched this never even hinted at deviating from the usual troubled kid sports guff, couldn't be arsed.

"Win Win" might not have that indie, outsider aura that McCarthy's first two films had and a lot of people might find the finale a little too convenient, yet his personal stamp is all over it. The character of Mike Flaherty seems to have been tailor-made for Giamatti and the entire cast is very convincing, with Cannavale and Tambor stealing the show. "Win Win" is one more slice of real cinema, with multi-dimensional characters, good humour and realistic dialogues. Immersive despite its flaws.

Mildly funny and mildly touching, "Win Win" may adhere to a predictable, 'awkwardly' cathartic plotline too closely, but the down-to-earthness of the writing and performances give it an effortless likability. The dark beginning was my favourite bit before McCarthy gives in to a lot of easy-to-swallow resolutions in the end. But it's enjoyable through and through.
