The Judge (2014)

Built around a court case but in fact a better family drama than a courtroom one, this story of an estranged father (a judge) and son (a lawyer) reunited under, er, trying circumstances is about as consequential as an episode of Picket Fences, but I liked Picket Fences and I like this, too, for its humour, warmth, and for avoiding - to its great benefit - any mawkishness, even with an ending that could very easily have gone Presumed Innocent on everyone.

★★★★☆
