168 - An Education

I had been waiting to finally see this film. I won't deny that I very much like Carey Mulligan. If I had to isolate one trait, it would be her low voice. Its perfect for blunt delivery. But the film, I think, is not enitrely a success because of her alone. The unsung heroes for me are Alfred Molina and her friends (Amanda Fairbank-Hynes and Ellie Kendrick). If you watch the deleted scenes from the DVD, there so much more to enjoy from he ensemble cast's performance. I had initially thought this film would rival Adrian Lynne's Lolita (which I really love and would be very tough to beat) but it possesses its own character.
