Here's another example of TV giving James Woods the chance to stretch out from the intense-psycho roles he seems restricted to in too many of his movies. In My Name Is Bill W. he plays Bill Wilson, the overreaching businessman from the Roaring '20s who went on to found Alcoholics Anonymous. Woods gets plenty of chances to stretch out here in Bill's headlong slide to the bottom, through the terrors of the Wall Street crash (which amplifies a two-fisted drinking problem) and into the loss of everything he holds dear. Yet Woods also is convincing as the man who understands just how insidious his disease is and learns to try to take everything one day at a time. He receives strong support from James Garner as the alcoholic physician who teams with Bill to make AA a viable proposition. --Marshall Fine

(Patricia J. Wilson, 2009-11-01) If you have read Bill's Story in the Big Book, you will see all the words come to life in this dvd. It draws you in & keeps your interest from start to finish. Very well done.
(Gary C. Burkett, 2009-09-15) I have the blessing of working with people in various forms of recovery. My Name is Bill W is a very good example of facing personal struggles and the problems and challenges of change. This is, and has been, one of my tools of teaching and referencing how to build change. Gary
(Gregory A. Reece, 2009-09-12) As an recovering Alcoholic and attending A.A. Meeting and reading the Big Book I found this movie very good
(Deedee, 2009-09-11) An inspiring movie of human nature to fall to the depths of despair and manage against all odds to find a way back to a new and productive life. For anyone who has an alcoholic addition or lives with someone who is addicted to alcohol, I highly recommend this movie. This movie is a moving, heartwarming, genuine experience.
(Visa, 2009-09-01) Whether you are an active alcoholic, an alcoholic in recovery, know someone who is an alcoholic or a normal person with no problem with alcohol, this film is a must see. You will feel the hopelessness and despair of an alcoholic in active addiction and you will discover the hope and serenity of an alcoholic in recovery. This movie will bring a much deeper understanding of the disease of alcoholism whether you are a newcomer or an old timer to this global problem. This story, brought to life by a veteran cast of established actors, can be viewed over and over, revealing a little more of the insidiousness of this disease each time you watch it.
