Beginners

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye take on the 2011 film Beginners. Starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer, Beginners is a heartfelt drama that delves into themes of love, identity, and late-life reinvention. Plummer delivers an Oscar-winning performance as Hal, a man who comes out as gay in his seventies after the passing of his wife, while his son, played by McGregor, struggles to navigate his own relationships and personal growth. Is Beginners a poignant and beautifully acted exploration of human connection, or does it lean too heavily on sentimentality? Find out on Uncertain Age!
