Beginners 06/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

The legacies we inherit, and the ones we pass on, form the heart of writer-director Mike Mills’s family portraits, inspired by his own experience. Both personal and panoramic, the films collected here—Beginners, 20th Century Women, and C’mon C’mon—set their stories of parents and children against the backdrop of a changing America, from the 1970s to the present. Anchored by performances of depth and wit from the likes of Christopher Plummer, Ewan McGregor, Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning, Joaquin Phoenix, and Gaby Hoffmann, these three films compose a mosaic of Mills’s own life, from boyhood to fatherhood, and of the people, places, music, and memories that marked him along the way.
