Comments: So after watching the first ten minutes of Beginners last Sunday and then falling asleep (I suck at life sometimes), I finally sat down to watch the film the following Saturday. And I'm glad I did, as Mike Mills has made a wonderful little film.
Beginners is a somber little movie, for the most part. It tells the story of Ewan McGregor, who meets Mélanie Laurent and the two begin a relationship together. There are flashbacks strewn throughout of McGregor's recently deceased father, who after 45 years of marriage, came out of the closet when his wife passed away (Christopher Plummer just won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for the performance). Beginners deals with McGregor's struggles with relationships due to what occurred between his parents.
There's a real sweetness to this film, which help balances out the more sad aspects. The scenes McGregor shares with both Laurent and Plummer are really touching at times, and are the main reason why I really enjoyed the film. This one definitely comes recommended.
