I enjoyed it because Ewan was on my screen. Obviously that was going to be enough to keep ME engaged. But my husband got bored and a little restless. So, I'd say it depends on who is watching it and how they feel about the actors. Because, again, I think the strongest part of the film is the performances.

Wait...this whole time I thought we were discussing Ghost Writer and not Beginners
![]() Now that I know we're talking about Beginners - I do agree all the performances were strong and I liked the chemistry between the cast. I liked Ewan's voiceovers. I do agree the story is very simple. Ewan looked gooooooood. __________________

Where did you get idea we were discussing Ghost Writer?
I did like the story too though, even it is simple. It has a strong message. __________________

![]() I think what made me think of Ghost Writer is b/c you said Beginners is slow, and I automatically associated slow with GW. But I liked in Beginners whenever Ewan would say something like "this is what people did in 1960, and in 1980, and in..." __________________

It is our way to be off-topic even in off-topic threads!
![]() I think that both Ghost Writer and The Beginners can be classified as "slow" which is not to say that they aren't enjoyable films. I happen to like Ghost Writer quite a lot, actually. And even though The Beginners will never be a favorite, I am still glad I watched it. |

GW is a great movie and one of the only political movies that actually intrigued me. With Beginners, I loved the relationships. Chris/Ewan were believable as family and Ewan/Melanie were adorable.

I'm glad people realize that Ewan often gets the shaft

![]() I hope with Chris winning the GG last night, he'll get an Oscar nod, win it, and give another shout out to Ewan. Also, maybe Ewan can present at the Oscars. Presenting one year, nominated and win the next year, maybe? __________________
