Our good fortune allowed us to feel a sadness that our parents didn’t have time for. And a happiness that I never saw with them.

Finally back home tonight, we watched and really loved Beginners. And if I occasionally thought that Mélanie Laurent was a bit too cloyingly adorable, too wide eyed, too precociously French, it was only a cover for my jealousy of her unfailing loveliness. Every movie ought to leave you with a handful of sadness and a handful of sweetness. You can barely enjoy one properly without the other.

I 100% AGREE. What a refreshingly sad and sweet movie. And did you know that it was based on a sort-of true situation? The writer’s dad came out after his mom died, and was like “I don’t just want my sexuality to be theoretical.”
