The movie "Bernard and Doris" is an endearing story

I loved the movie "Bernard and Doris"  The story is about a friendship between Tobacco heiress Doris Duke and her butler Bernard Lafferty.  After six years of friendship, Doris made Bernard the heir to her fortune. Doris Duke is played by actress Susan Sarandon. Bernard Lafferty is played by actor Ralph Fiennes. The hypothetical story centers around Bernard and Doris and their drinking habits. When Doris finds Bernard has fallen off the wagon and stolen alcohol from her, what will happen? While I've honestly NEVER had any substance abuse issues, I liked this endearing story. I hope anyone struggling with substance abuse issues will find help.  The film is on the streaming service HBO Now.
