Since I kept hearing good things about this movie (it was even one of the best movies released in 2009 according to Roger Ebert), I was really eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, even though I did enjoy the story, I still think it was nothing really original and it was in fact even really predictable. Furthermore, they tried to give it a positive note (it was 'an education' for her, after all...), I wasn't really convinced especially with the ending. Indeed, when she was finally dumped, she went back to her study, they gave us some uplifting music and eventually she basically decided to pretend that the whole thing didn't happen. Still, even though the story was not really mind-blowing, it was still entertaining enough. Furthermore, it was very well written, the directing was decent and the cast was really good (Carey Mulligan, Olivia Williams, Alfred Molina, Peter Sarsgaard, Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson, Sally Hawkins), especially Carey Mulligan who was really amazing. After watching this movie and 'Never let me go', she definitely convinced me that she was one of the best actress of her generation and not a new sex bomb like Megan Fox for example. To conclude, even though the plot was actually nothing really amazing in my opinion, it was still enjoyable thanks to some solid directing and acting and it is definitely worth a look.
