As you may recall, Christopher Plummer won an Oscar earlier this year for his role here as Hal, a 75-year-old man who comes out as gay after the death of his wife, and who dies himself of cancer several years later. So is this a sad, sentimental exploration of death and identity? Certainly, but it’s also quirky and hilarious (and perhaps even heartwarming), as we watch Hal’s son Oliver (Ewan McGregor) deal his father’s death by falling in love with a French actress and hanging out with an immensely wise Jack Russell terrier named Arthur.
