An Education
I’ve decided after a few days of mulling it over that I didn’t really like this movie but not because it wasn’t a good movie. I liked that the film seemed to have room to breathe absent from the generic romantic coming-of-age film suggested by the trailer. Carey Mulligan was great in the lead (though her character seems too wise for being 16), Peter Saarsgard’s casting instead of someone British was puzzling but he did well in the role. I actually really enjoyed the film until I realized that I had been swindled by a twist that I wont spoil. The film succeeded perfectly and it frustrated me.
