Beginners
A graphics artist (Ewan McGregor)struggles with his 75-year-old father's (Christopher Plummer) announcement that he is gay, his father's terminal illness, and his own non-committal issues with his latest girlfriend. McGregor and Plummer both give strong emotional performances. This movie is a quirky artsy film festival type favorite that probably will not be popular with the general public. For example, it includes subtitled thoughts from Arthur, a Jack Russell terrier. Some may not like the non-linear story telling style as the film jumps back and forth in time. a sense of sadness and loneliness permeates throughout this autobiographical plot which features two romances.
Alien gives it 2 "what my dog is really thinking" stars out of 4.
