An Education

Peter Sarsgaard, Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina

Pleasant, sweet, old-fashioned coming-of-age romance. This film, obviously and inoffensively, pushed all the right buttons without straining credibility (too much). Very skilled cast...with supporting players like Emma Thompson and Sally Hawkins....

Ms Mulligan carried the film. Her deft mix of sweetness, naivete and savvy knowingness...coupled with her ingenue-level loveliness seemed fresh and winning. She was a remarkable find and I only hope she finds future roles equal to this one.

Satisfying film experience.
