Beginners - A Review

4 Stars - Nice

Beginners tells the story of Ewan McGregor starting a relationship with Mélanie Laurent whilst also coming to terms with the death of his recently out of the closet father Christopher Plummer.

The story is simple and told well, the acting is downright spectacular. Earning Christopher Plummer his long overdue Oscar.

If I had to pick a fault I'd say that at times it tries a little too hard to be quirky, like its trying to capture the feel of a lot of films of recent years, and whilst it often doesn't have to try to hard, the prime example being dog subtitles, at times it can get a little grating for it.

About time, too...

In short, this film is nice and I'd say worth a watch
