Just finished watching “Ben is Back” and I’m a little confused about how things wrapped up. Did Ben manage to get clean and stay with his family? What happened with the whole drug dealer situation? Anyone else out there wondering the same thing? Let’s discuss the ending!

The ending of “Ben is Back” is left ambiguous, offering a mix of hope and uncertainty. Here’s a breakdown of the key events:
- Ben retrieves Ponce: He completes a drug run for Clayton, the dealer, and gets his dog back.
- Temptation and relapse: Clayton gives Ben back some drugs, hinting at a possible relapse.
- Uncertain future: The film ends with Ben parked on the side of the road by an abandoned barn. We don’t see what he does with the drugs or if he returns home.
The audience is left to ponder Ben’s fate. Will he succumb to temptation or use his experience to stay sober?
