Review of Beginners (2011) by Tim M — 21 Dec 2016
'Beginners', staring Ewan McGregor as the son of a complicated couple, isn't necessarily about starting anew as much as it is about never giving up. McGregor who has amazing chemistry with Christopher Plummer, who portrays his father. Plummer, who won both Golden Globe and Academy Awards for his performance, has a childlike innocence to the way he plays his role. This movie is fun, and light, despite some of the narrative abnormalities.
Hard to follow at times, and annoying in tone, 'Beginners' is worth watching for the performances over the quirks. And if goofiness is your thing, then this is a perfect little indy that will sooth your soul. Final Score: 8.3/10.
