This is a good start for those who are inclined to battle their demons. Good background on the founding of A.A. the the process of finding spirituality.

Excellent movie for substance abuse treatment programs. It explains the origins of AA, and other 12 step programs. It helps us focus on what treatment programs are SUPPOSED to be about.

My name is Bill W is a production coherent to its message: like the group theraphy of the Anonimous Alcoholics, it is simple and efficient. The system was the result of an open and fair partnership of two very determined guys: Bob Smith and Bill Wilson. The script of the movie together with art direction and actor's performance succeed to keep the focus on the main message: the only way to fight alcohol is to avoid drinking for the next 24 hours. For this reason it is a brilliant achievement:the big star is the solidarity, there are no celebrities, but common people with drinking problems that share their experience.

This is a fantastic story whether you need to learn about drinking or not. A great story, Heroic and humble.

I bought this movie for my husband as a gift. Although he liked it, I thought it was just OK. The acting is cheesy and the story line is rather dull. It depicts how Alcoholics Anonymous was formed and by whom. I do believe the story line was close to accurate, however, the actors had no real personality and their characters seemed a little strained to fit the parts (with the exception of James Garner. If not for him, this movie would have been a total FLOP). In honesty, I laughed when Ebby staggered down the road. Who really likes to see a drunk stagger, let alone someone doing a rather bad inpression of one while trying to be serious? It was almost humiliating and uncomfortable.
This movie will always have a limited audience. It is geared for those already interested in Alcoholics Anonymous AND are impartial toward ANYTHING positively related to it. It will probably not win any new converts. If you really want to learn about AA, then attend a meeting or read the Big Book and other AA associated literature. Skip this.
