Movie Rating: Melanie Zahar

A man who has just lost his father meets a woman and falls in love.

Oliver (Ewan McGregor) goes through a difficult period of mourning at the death of his father (Christopher Plummer), who came out of the closet after 44 years of marriage. As he thinks back on how his father's last years were full of love, Oliver, who has been incapable of sustaining a relationship longer than a few weeks, falls in love with an actress (Mélanie Laurent) and is determined to make the most of it by his father's example...

Touching and skillful dramedy about being a child, becoming a parent to your own parents and the difficulties of communication – playful, original although sometimes clichéd, but always with an unfeigned sincerity.
