An Education (2009)

An Education (2009)
Lone Scherfig

An Education is one of those rare low-budget films that actually lives up to the hype its given. The story was heartwarming, the acting charming, the costumes creative, and were it not for the ending, I probably would have scored this film even higher. Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard played the lead couple perfectly while Alfred Molina and Olivia Williams shined in their supporting roles. This is normally not the type of movie I, or the average movie-goer would probably enjoy, but that is one of the best things about An Education, it is great for every type of viewer. I would recommend giving this movie a chance, even if it doesn't seem like one you would enjoy.
