Beginners

Directed by Mike Mills

Oliver, a graphic designer, is captivated by the free-spirited and unpredictable Anna. His father's memories push him to embrace the possibility of a real, lasting relationship.
Beginners is a beautifully observed film about love, grief and the surprising new lives people can begin late in life. Christopher Plummer is wonderful as a father who comes out in his seventies, while Ewan McGregor gives the film a gentle emotional centre. Mike Mills balances sadness with warmth and humour.
