An Education

The little film that could....An Education is amazing and real and raw. The film takes these issues that women are dealing with even today and shows them through the eyes of 1961. Should a girl be in school? Should she go to university? Should she marry? Should she decide between one life or another or can she do both? This film brings up some really great questions.

Peter Sarsgaard is fantastically charming and such an ideal man. He really makes you fall in love with him and you long for him when he is not on screen. His character is smart, quick, and witty. His character David is a man that all women could easily fall in love with and you forget it Sarsgaard because he becomes David. Yet another reason why I love this actor. Personally I think he is one of the most under-rated actors out there! Every film he is in he steals the show, even though half the time he only has small roles. It's great to see him in a main role and just dominating it!

Carey Mulligan as Jenny is so real and you feel her pain. She is a smart and yet beautiful girl and she shows that growing up is never easy. She is raw emotion and real in every second of the film. From her childlike innocents to her grown up womanly passion she is sensational.

As I've said this film blew me right out of the water! It was a great film that is worth seeing. Every young lady should have to watch this film, it should be required for high school film and English classes. It's a film that girls all over the world can understand and relate too. Growing up is never easy and trying to make these life choices suck. This film can help put a little light on your confusion....check it out....very good amazing brilliant witty film!
