Beginners (new Mike Mills film)
Anyone else seen this? It’s a semi-autobiographical film from the director of Thumbsucker. I thought it was a genuinely touching and tear-inducing film about the relationship between a guy and his dad. Christopher Plummer, Ewan McGregor and Goran Višnji? are all wonderful.
However (and I know that it was the conduit through which the rest of the story was revealed), it’s such a shame that we also had to put up with the scenes of his relationship with a French actress, played by Mélanie Laurent. My god she was a total void. It takes some talent to make her look like a piece of cardboard, but Mills manages it.
