An Education


This is the recent film based on Lynn Barber's book about 16-year-old Jenny and her life when she gets swept off her feet by a much older man in the early 1960s.

Carey Mulligan was excellent as Jenny (her BAFTA was well-deserved and I'm sure as she was relatively unknown before, she will get many more acting jobs after this) and was supported by some other great actors including Alfred Molina as her father who seems to have something bad to say about everything, but really only wants what's best for her. Other actors in the cast include Emma Thompson, Rosamund Pike and Dominic Cooper (Sky from Mamma Mia).

I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.
