Beginners - a DVD Review

So Sunday night I watch the indie film “Beginners”.  This is the story of a son (Ewan McGregor) who is stunned by his father’s announcement that at age 75 he has terminal cancer and he is gay.  Christopher Plummer portrays the dad in his Oscar winning role for Best supporting actor.
The story follows both his new gay lifestyle and his journey through cancer.  This was a mildly entertaining film, directed in a unique way which made it more watchable.  I adore Ewan McGregor who even without his Scottish accent does well as the grave overwhelmed son trying to make sense of everything.
