Getting An Education
If you see one movie this weekend,and you're fortunate enough to live in one of the cities where it's opening in limited release, go see An Education. I know, you're busy, you have other stuff going on, you're secretly dying to see Couples Retreat. Just trust me.
An Education became one of the big buzz films of this year's Sundance, and with good reason.I'm not going to tell here what it's about, you can go over here and read my review from Sundance. But I will emphasize again that Carey Mulligan, the young actress who stars as the teenage girl seduced by a smooth-but-oh-so-creepy Peter Sarsgaard with the complicity of her parents, is simply fantastic in this film. This girl has the goods, and if she keeps making smart film choices she will have a very promising career ahead of her. It's a smart, entertaining film, directed by a woman, and starring a young actress with remarkable talent and promise. What more do you want?
