Jane again, folks. Just back from seeing "An Education". Excellent film. Well worth the $4. Turns out if you go to a movie on a Sunday morning on the New Hampshire border before noon, you can get a bargain. Actually, it's well worth full price. Carey Mulligan does a wonderful job as the young student yearning to be exposed to more in life than studies. Alfred Molina is great as always and Peter Saarsgard turns in a wonderful performance as well. A couple of cameos from Emma Thompson and voici! The movie is set in 1961-1962 suburban London. Nothing in the movie felt forced, out of place or just plain wrong. Except maybe wondering what the heck the parents were thinking but when you see it you'll understand what I mean. Overall, I'd put it in my favorites for the year with The Hurt Locker and District 9. The story and overall arc were much better than Avatar and the movie kept me rapt. Carey Mulligan is nominated for Best Actress but I'm not ready to discuss that category yet. Meanwhile, enjoy the popcorn, I'll be back.
