Review of An Education (2009) by Jen T — 02 Jan 2011
The best thing about this film is most people, regardless the age and the gender, can get something and some enjoyment out of it. Even to those most apathetic, it's either a tense enough drama or light enough entertainment, or both.
The story is flawed, especially towards the end. But it's made up by the characters, excellent casting and acting. It's a story that keeps you curious and interested throughout, and it doesn't disappoint (well, not until the vey end).
The topic is definitely unusual and fresh, and most of the time it's very plausible and convincing. It is a rare film that raises timeless questions while being enjoyable, entertaining, and easy on the eye.
It's a perfect film to see before a cosy, semi-intelligent dinner party.
