An Education
Just saw it though I have not yet listened to Adam and Matty. Really great performances from Mulligan and Sarsgaard and Molina. Ok so I had trouble believing her to be 16 but when has anyone playing a 16 year old looked 16 anyway. Pretty awful conditions in the theatre itself (some horrible problems with the sound) but overall I enjoyed the movie. As for the big tonal shift I've heard so much about in the final act there is a shift but I do not really see it as too big nor as really something unexpected. It's pretty much where the film had to be going, as far as I could tell. And of course I really love Nick Hornby though I have to say the performances here are the reason to see this film not it's script. I very good, though not great movie but you could see much worse and well actually at the moment not too much better.
