I think I’ve just seen the first success story of next year’s film awards season. An Education is a cracking movie that continues British’s glittering history of dramatic comedies. The world is in a rush; our young are so desperate to do interesting and fun things, make large amounts of money fast or even to become famous. An Education captures this mood perfectly through the core character Jenny (exquisitely played by newcomer Carey Mulligan), an extremely bright sixth former studying to get a place at Oxford University who becomes dramatically sidetracked by a romance with an inappropriate older man. This really is a stellar film performed greatly by an ensemble of some fine acting talent. My notables included Alfred Molina as the lead’s father and Olivia Williams as a loyal and caring teacher. Their characters showcase the strength of forgiveness as action, one which we should aim to learn ourselves as we grow up along with the art of being selflessness. Any film that raises questions about your own behaviour, past or present, or of that of someone you know, has got to be good one in my book. Please, go and see.
