Keaton's best work; uncompromisingly excellent on all counts
by george.schmidt2003-02-28

"CLEAN AND SOBER (1988) ***1/2 Michael Keaton, Kathy Baker, Morgan Freeman, M. Emmett Walsh, Tate Donovan, Claudia Christian, Brian Benben. Keaton gives a tour de force performance as chemical addict businessman facing big troubles and decides to cool off in a detox/rehab center run by a no-nonsense counselor (excellent Foreman). Great acting and tight, realistic direction from Glenn Gordon Caron (creator of tv's "Moonlighting" in this his feature film debut) and Baker's scenes with Keaton recall the desperation of Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick in "The Days of Wine and R..."

💡 Did You Know?

After seeing an early screening of the film, Jon Peters was inspired to cast Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne (Batman) in Batman (1989).
