Beginners is a film about a father and son and their new beginnings. They are on different paths to finding love and acceptance, but seem to echo the same risk that needs to be taken to find the path and its outcome.

I thought it was about backward rednecks from the South breeding or something. However, Natural Selection won the SXSW 2011 Grand Jury Winner, the Audience Award for the Narrative Feature Competition, actors... Continue Reading →
