An Education

A whole passel of spot-on performances here, wonder after wonder. And the director, Lone Scherfig, is female, which probably accounts for the main character (played by Carey Mulligan) being so intelligent. Scherfig is also an adherent to Dogme 95, which eschews special effects of any kind (e.g., no sets, no lighting). It seems like most practitioners are not strict adherents, though, so it's hard to tell where the line is drawn in individual films. Hell of a beautiful shot below, special lighting or no.

i adored this movie. and i thought rosamund pike's vapid beauty was SO well played. she was a cliche' without being a caricature.
. . .
does that even make sense?
and i love how they didn't have to hit you over the head with evidence that the BFF guy was falling in love with carey's character, too. it was just quietly alluded to.
so well done, that movie.
