On the back of tragedy rides his own problems in his career and love life both providing for a rather bleak outlook. Despite despair Beginners provides a sense of optimism and perseverance that bring the films heavy subject matter, and well placed humor to life. A brilliant embodiment of what it is to be alive.Somebody get that dog an Oscar...
