Wow. Seriously good movie. Love the young heroine. Hate the manipulative older man. Really can't stand him.
The plot isn't a new one, the young impressionable bored brilliant young woman seduced by the shady handsome compelling interesting older man. It's a classic coming of age story done very very well.
They did a great job of it. All of them. And the writing was fabulous. Carey Mulligan is an amazing young actress who is clearly destined for greatness. Alfred Molina plays her overbearing father who manages to maintain a charm in spite of his fear for his daughter.
IMDB plot summary:
A coming-of-age story about a teenage girl in 1960s suburban London, and how her life changes with the arrival of a playboy nearly twice her age.
This movie is worth seeing, ideally with friends. The wardrobe and hairstyles were classic 60's (I love that era for some reason), and the shoes were fab.u.lous!
