Warmly observed and solicitous of its audience to the point of caress, Win Win is as comfortable an experience at the movies as you might have this year. Writer and director Tom McCarthy ( The Station Agent , The Visitor ) specializes in light humanism (or humanism lite), storytelling that features recognizable people facing their recognizable lives with just a little more grace and good nature than is recognizable. The flourish there at the end lends McCarthy’s understated, involving approach a bit of self-affirming flattery: These people look and sound just like me, therefore, I am as endearing and ultimately decent as these people.
