Beginners

Directed by Mike Mills

A wistful and understated American indie, following a lonely, grief-stricken man as he strives to make sense of his parents’ lives after the death of his mother and revelation that his father is gay. This highly personal semi-autobiographical story is directed by filmmaker, artist and graphic designer Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) and is a quirky yet delicate exploration into the mysteries of love, depicted by a charismatic star cast, with a romantic touch reminiscent of early Woody Allen.
