Beginners - Kritiken

It's a hopeful fable with deep optimism and a cheerful style that kids itself. Like many dogs, it shrugs off setbacks and keeps hoping it can go outside and play.

...a complicated study of love deferred.

With good performances and characters, Beginners is an enjoyable, amusing and occasionally poignant watch.

...a film with a healthy, if self-conscious IQ. It could be an excellent date movie.

...en fin lille hyldest til den søde håbløshed og et minde om, at selv om man ikke kan finde ud af sig selv, kan det være, man kan lære det.

...pays tender tribute to that imprinting process, but also, quite dazzlingly, makes a person sincerely believe in the possibility of rebirth.

...lyckas nästla sig in och röra runt bland våra känslor och trampa på ömma tår vi inte visste vi hade.

...ett fint kammarspel och den melankoliska stämningen sitter klistrad i väggarna.
