In 2003, 38-year-old graphic artist Oliver Fields has just lost his father Hal to cancer, 5 years after his mother Georgia's death. Oliver is naturally sullen because of his relationships with his parents growing up (especially his mother, who had a unique view of life) and watching their cordial but somewhat distant marital relationship, but he's more so now as he deals with his personal losses. He embarks on a relationship with French actress Anna, hoping that his re-energized relationship with Hal following Georgia's death, and Hal's new outlook on life, will show him how to act in a loving relationship. After Georgia's death, Hal came out of the closet and began to live with a new joie de vivre and have an open relationship with Andy, a much-younger man. Oliver's relationship with Anna has other obstacles, including her own vagabond lifestyle and Oliver inheriting Arthur, Hal's very needy Jack Russell terrier.
Leave your thoughts about Beginners.
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyAll the gimmicks in the storytelling ... can't camouflage the fact that the story itself was never quite worked out. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayYou know you're in the hands of a superbly gifted filmmaker when he can pull off a talking dog. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonA lovably quirky comedy-drama with a rhythm all its own. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigWhat results is a disarmingly honest tale of affection, both romantic and filial. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSteve RamosSweet moments of subtle comedy and straightforward family drama mix perfectly with Mike Mills' trademark artfulness in Beginners. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneOne of the most distinct pleasures of Beginners is the way it puts together fragments of someone's life-presumably the filmmaker's, although little does it matter-with humility, and without vying for some complete whole. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeRarely do you find such self-plunging material beyond the realm of documentary or far-fringe museum fare, and despite his background in that arena, Mills sheds all preciosity in service of genuinely revealing introspection. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIt is a marvel of storytelling and character, telling a relatively familiar and potentially melodramatic tale in a way that feels different, new and profound. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekBeginners is all about beginnings that begin with endings - the point, Mills seems to be saying, is that sometimes you need to say good-bye to make room for hello. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleMcGregor hasn't been this appealing or vulnerable in ages, and in both of the film's love stories, he exemplifies Mills' message. |
