• An Education Movie Review

  
  Are You Screening? — Authority: 430
  I must start with a brief warning. This is ridiculously long. It is also rather vague at points in an effort to avoid spoiling too much, which is not particularly possible in any case. On the other hand, if you think that the experience of watching this movie could be ruined even if I told you everything that happens, ...

• AN EDUCATION: The Film Babble Blog Review

  
  film babble blog — Authority: 412
  AN EDUCATION (Dir. Lone Scherfig, 2009) It certainly isn’t a “meet cute” when 16 year old school girl Carey Mulligan is offered a ride home from Peter Sarsgaard in his snazzy sports car, but it isn’t exactly a “meet creep” either. Though Sarsgaard has a creepy reputation (his ...

• OFF THE CARPET: Field of adaptations

  
  In Contention — Authority: 122
  As always, the year’s adapted screenplay race is much more competitive than the original screenplay race.  But what’s intriguing to note is that of the anticipated “big four” still to be widely screened, three of them are right in the thick of this discussion. In the case of “Nine,” there is a chance ...

• An Education

  
  Mostly Movies — Authority: 135
  Two celebrated films with young female protagonists opened at my local theatre today, and while Lone Scherfigs An Education flies onto screens without the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey or Tyler Perry (more on Precious in an upcoming post) it is by far the superior film.

  By Matt Brunson AN EDUCATION ***1/2 DIRECTED BY Lone Scherfig STARS Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard Coming-of-age movies are a dime-a-dozen, but one as exemplary as An Education deserves nothing less than the opportunity to command top dollar on the open market.

  siphoning off a few thoughts — Authority: 115
  I hadn’t necessarily expected to read every word of the Lowell biography, but … it’s one of those books you thrust on your partner with an incredulous cry of “This is me! ” [Nick Hornby, The Polysyllabic Spree , p16-17] That is exactly how I feel about many passages in this journal of Hornby’s own ...

You are warned.] I once wrote Steven Spielberg never creates an interesting moral dilemma that a boy in a helicopter can’t fly his way out of. I feel the same way about Lone Scherfig’s An ...
