I loved Beginners, i felt for a film that had such a tidy plot line it was incredibly deep and complex. Christopher Plummer was excellent as a character rediscovering himself and the world around him whilst being devastatingly charming. I found him totally believable, and if he goes on to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar on Sunday (which I'm sure he will) it will be most deserved.
Melanie Laurent's beauty was captured so expertly, and she bought enormous depth to a character who really could have just been a cliched "girlfriend" role, i found her journey often more moving than that of Ewan McGregor's character.
Mike Mills wrote a heartbreaking, witty script and shot it in a refreshing and distinct style.
It's a beautiful film, I found it both charming and very moving.
