Wissenswertes
When Peter Hedges was developing the film he had no intention of casting his son Lucas Hedges in the titular role, and had already created a shortlist of other actors he was considering. It was Julia Roberts, who after seeing the younger Hedges in Manchester by the Sea (2016), insisted he be cast.

Patzer
There is a scene where Julia Roberts' car breaks down. Her son tries to start it but is unsuccessful. He then says we need gas. The next scene they're at a gas station with no explanation as to how they got there. Saying that they needed gas doesn't necessarily mean that the tank is empty. There could easily have been sufficient fuel left to drive to the gas station.

Zitate
Ben Burns: I love five people and Ponce is two of them.

An emotional rollercoaster

Ben is Back has been directed really well. All actors have done an excellent job. I always felt that movies can't do what books do to me, but this movie proved an exception. I felt all shaky with emotion at the end of it. I really really hope that everyone suffering from addiction gets help just like Ben. Please, may everyone find real peace and happiness.
