Review: An Education

An Education

Educational. Witty. Simple. Heartfelt. Compelling.

I enjoyed this movie. It was the perfect length, the perfect pace, and very well written. It’s about a girl who learns the hard way why education is so important. She gets an education on life, when she realizes the man she was going to give up her Oxford education for was not who he said he was. Simple, solid, and interesting.

The actors in it all did an excellent job. Carey Mulligan especially stood out for me. I think she is Oscar worthy. Her timing was great, and her performance, for me, felt genuine and real. All the rest of the cast did very good as well.

Movies like this are great for their ability to help us learn a lesson with the character. I felt I learned something I kinda already knew: Education comes first

Good movie. Good Message.

I liked it.
