A comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be, even at its most serious moments, and how when it comes to relationships, we’re all beginners. “Beginners” imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver as he meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father has passed away. USA, 2011, 105 minutes. Rated R for language and some sexual content

“Mike Mills’s marvelously inventive romantic comedy Beginners is pickled in sadness, loss, and the belief that humans (especially when they mate) are stunted by their parents’ buried secrets, their own genetic makeup, and our sometimes-sociopathic social norms… A cast that inspires you to empty out your bag of superlatives.”—David Edelstein, New York magazine

“A sad, sweet, funny and ultimately unforgettable love story about a man and a woman and a father and son, and also ranks among the most affectionate and sensitive portraits of homosexuality ever crafted by a straight person.”—Andrew O”Hehir, Salon.com
