BEGINNERS

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, who came out as a gay man five years earlier, after his wife's death, and discovered happiness.

"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 normsA cast that inspires you to empty out your bag of superlatives."David Edelstein, New York Magazine
