Review of Beginners (2011) by Dustin G — 19 Mar 2012
A compelling story and cast with Ewan McGregor as the son of a dying man (Christopher Plummer) who came out of the closet at age 75. Melanie Laurent plays McGregor's new girlfriend and is perfect. Based on director Mike Mill's relationship with his father, "Beginners" shows that life is a constant state of discovery and self awakening.
This is one of McGregor's most quietly emotional performances to date. The editing is also superb, with show-and-tell styling throughout that added to the films quiet simplicity. One of the best movies of the year.
