Day 293 - Beginners (American)

Beginners Poster.jpg
 
"The film is structured as a series of interconnected flashbacks. Following the death of his father Hal (Christopher Plummer), Oliver (Ewan McGregors) reflects on their relationship following the death of Oliver's mother, Georgia. Shortly after her death, Hal came out to his son and began exploring life as an openly gay man. He becomes active in the gay community, finds love and becomes more honest with himself and with his son. As a result, Oliver and Hal become closer during this time. Shortly after Hal's death, Oliver meets Anna, a French actress, at a party. Inspired by his father's attitude towards the end of his life and their relationship, Oliver decides to pursue a romance with her."
 
A nice little romantic comedy that will test what you feel about love in its many forms. Christopher Plummer was the best thing in the movie as his character had a lot of depth and he is a good actor. Meanwhile Ewan McGregors role seemed a little flat and forced as if they focused all their time on Christopher Plummer's Character. This movie is also good for a slow night if there nothing better on.
 
 
1/5
