Movies that make you laugh and cry

Beginners (Mike Mills, 2010)

There’s a boasting, colorful simplicity to Beginners’ humor, especially around Hal’s (Christopher Plummer) decision to come out at the end of his life and his relationship with a much younger man, Andy (Goran Visnjic). It’s not disrespectful, just mindful of how lead character Oliver (Ewan McGregor), Hal’s son, would see it as eccentric and improbable, even possibly absurd.
