An Education my review

An Education (2009)

Director: Lone Scherfig

Writers: Lynn Barber, Nick Hornby

Plot:

Lovely young Jenny Mellor played by Carey Mulligan is on top of her class. Coming from a middle class family she is hoping to get into Oxford , a dream that her father Jack (Alfred Molina) wants for her. Aside from her academics, she is also engaged in into playing a cello, one rainy afternoon after attending a cello practice she ran into David Goldman a man who is nearly as old as his father yet charming and has his ways of getting things especially with women. Jenny and David became acquainted and she had the best time of her life but with a cost.

Scenes that I like:

How Jenny elaborate on the sense of going to college and finishing school and ending up with a boring job to her principal.

Weird Part: Jenny, David and their friends going to dog races whose real purpose is to meet a man.

  

Movie Ending:

This movie encourages smoking, however it also tackles some important issues of life, Do not put your trust on a complete stranger, this movie also teaches about humility and self perseverance. 

Would I recommend it? Yes I would.

My Rating:★★★★☆
