An Education

A wonderful movie and beautifully enacted!!!
Loved Carey Mulligan in the role of Jenny. She was brilliant, very alive and perfect. She makes you feel the joys of a teenager exploring the adult world secretly, shares the excitement with lights in her eyes and a radiant smile, makes you feel her agony when the sophisticated world around her breaks down and makes your heart go out to her when in spite of everything she stands up to face her future.

The story is a simple one (and the plot nothing new), but the great screenplay and minimal melodrama (as one would expect in such a story worked upon in bollywood) make it a wonderful experience. All characters have done a great job, be it the loving, protective, bored parents of Jenny who fall into the charms of David too, the charming and graceful David, the sophisticated and happening Helen and Danny, the naive boyfriend from school the giggly girlfriends, the strict, dreary and ambitious school teacher or Jenny herself. And importantly, in the end, the message does go home.

Here's the trailer:



Enjoy!!
