Where to begin... I'm thinking more about the heavy rain outside my window than the film I just saw...
An Education is about a hard working girl (Mulligan) in England in the 60s (or so), studying to be accepted into Oxford. She is both smart and pretty, straight A's, plays the cello... Pretty much got her whole life planned out. Until one day she meets David (Skarsgaard).
It's the classic 'girl meets boy - boy's no good'. But it's also about living, enjoying and appreciating life. The pictures are beautiful, and if you can get over the slightly pedophile relationship, it's actually a really cute movie. Because sometimes an education isn't by the book.
