Critics: “With good performances and characters, Beginners is an enjoyable, amusing and occasionally poignant watch.” - Empire Magazine

“It is tonally elusive, cerebral and subdued, but this is a film with a healthy, if self-conscious IQ. It could be an excellent date movie.” - Guardian

“It's a hopeful fable with deep optimism and a cheerful style that kids itself.” - Chicago Sun-Time
