Beginners is honestly the best film I have seen in ages! The film is as simple as complex as this: it is about people entering and leaving one's life. The film goes back and forth between the past and the present, a format which is executed well by director Mike Mills.

I found myself enjoying the life that Christopher Plummer brought to the role of Hal. Ewan McGregor also acted well as a middle-aged son who is only now discovering who his father really is. The film is beautiful to look at and the soundtrack choices are whimsical and fun.

This film made me smile, and it made me cry a few times too. Simply wonderful!
