An Education is a smart film that shows just how important independence and education can be to success. Would you rather take a shortcut straight to a life of freedom and enjoyability, but have to rely on someone else for everything, or would you rather earn it all yourself that way when the going gets tough you can get through it? These are interesting questions that many people would give different answers to. The film is a little predictable the further you get into it, but it overcomes this with an exuberant performance from Carey Mulligan and a stellar supporting cast. Mulligan carries the film on her shoulders and I can't wait to see more of her work. The film looks great too. It has a very Victorian flavor to it and the beautiful locations only add to it. The ending is quite as good as the movie itself mainly because I felt it was rushed and could have explored a little more deeply the relationship between the two title characters, but it's a small complaint about an otherwise good movie.
