Our take
Love is healing, complex, and above all transformative in Mike Mills’s gorgeous, intensely personal gem. Among a stellar cast including Ewan McGregor and Mélanie Laurent, screen legend Christopher Plummer won a long-awaited Oscar® for his moving portrayal of joy found after coming out late in life.
