A must see, even if you hated education: An Education
Let’s be clear from the outset here: I wasn’t in any way excited about watching this film. Okay, the premise sounded interesting, but it didn’t exactly compete in my mind well with the other films of the time. So it was a risk, really, me watching this. I was all prepared to hate it and then when I saw it guess what? I loved it. It was actually just what I needed.
Starring Carey Mulligan – of Never Let Me Go fame – An Education is exactly that, charting one young girl’s summer as she meets a dashing and handsome businessman in the shape of American Peter Sarsgaard (Garden State, to name but one). It starts off simple and quickly turns sinister, with a very interesting story carefully interwoven with a period drama that is actually really very good. Now there’s a paragraph I didn’t expect to be writing when I sat down to watch this film…
An Education is also stylish. From the smart opening scenes, the music is well times and mixed with a sometimes hilarious brand of humour that exactly mirrors the intricacies of the time. In other words, it’s a film for people who don’t usually watch films, but also a film that is crafter brilliantly, making it appealing to both the avid cinema goer and the comedy lover.
Buy or download An Education to see some Great British actors and a slew of interesting narratives mixed with a story that you won’t see every day (a much better buy than those custom rings you keep seeing on QVC, make no mistaking!).
