Review of An Education (2009) by Enrica C — 21 Jan 2012
Great movie, probably the best movie about entrance in adulthood I've ever seen. It contains a great moral, and its message is so bittersweet: we all commit errors in our lives, especially when we're young, but if we really want to we can correct those huge mistakes. Carey Mulligan is a great actress, she truely shinesÂ? in the movie, and eclipses all other actors/actresses: simply amazing, her performance is what I remember the most about this magnificent movie.
Since the opening credits, you get sucked in England, year 1961. The opening song is great, as well as the script: a movie to be seen, very relaxing, with a few surprises, and rich of dreams; it helps making the audience realize that the only person we can fully trust is ourselves. Men/ Women we fall in love with aren't really worth living our studies; if we love doing something the best thing we can do is continue on that road, and never look back. If we do believe in ourselves everything will be all right: we have to trust ourselves and our instinct.
Absolutely recommended. One of the best of 2009.
