Caught "Beginners" this morning and really enjoyed it. I liked the out of sequence story telling and the way it made you guess what was a memory, what was happening in the present, etc. Not that it was confusing, but it mirrored how much of life can be a blur, especially when we continually are mixing past emotions and experiences with the present.
Going in I heard a lot of buzz about Plummer's performance, and though very good, I thought the movie belonged to Ewan McGregor. I've adored him since Moulin Rouge, but this made me look at him in a more serious light. Melanie Laurent, with whom he shares many of his scenes, is also captivating.
If you haven't had a chance yet this really is a great summer movie and shouldn't be missed.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!
