An Education (2009)

This is a very interesting coming-of-age story all young women should watch. The acting by all is first rate. But the best part of this movie, to me, is the soundtrack.

Carey Mulligan was amazing and well deserved her Oscar nom here. We'll hear from her again no doubt. Peter Sarsgaard is equal parts charming and creepy. Alfred Molina is perfect as the father. The rest of the cast is perfect.

Among other things this is an enjoyable, if not regrettable, look back at some 1960's mentality. How far have we come? That's up to you.

If you are a young woman heading to college, or if you have one in your household, I highly recommend watching this movie. It is rated PG-13 so there is not much to worry about. If you are a Daddy of the aforementioned daughters, you should watch too.

Watch this with someone who has a dream of going to Paris.
