While the acting in Beginners was certainly excellent and Mélanie Laurent (Anna) is lovely to look at, I had a hard time staying awake during what seemed like an interminable two hours.
Another comment said the dog (Arthur) has the best lines; he may be right! Arthur was in almost every scene and did a great job.
I left the theater asking myself, "What the hell was that film all about?" Have you ever watched a film to its completion and simply said "so what?" Well Beginners, for me, was one of those films.
Perhaps some may find redeeming qualities here, I did not.
The 5/10 is for the dog! Good job, Arthur (Cosmo).
