...saw this over the weekend and given that both lead actors are likely to be up for Best Actor/Actress Oscars, I recommend you see it.

Carrie Mulligan won the National Board of Review's Best Actress Award last week.

Interesting and well done, if a little slow.

Hard to believe she's supposed to be only 16 years old.

I'd give it a B.

The principal actress was 22 at the time the film was made. I found it - tinear 08:39:07 12/10/09 (0)
a very well made though very predictable effort. Many fine actors though it was a very bloodless affair; even the most difficult experiences, the greatest of disappointments were met with tepidity. It isn't fair to compare this film to one which is a classic, the implication being that anything less---- which almost all films must be--- condemns it, but because of the great similarity, I must: "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" has passion, brilliant casting (Maggie Smith won many top awards), and several surprises along the dazzling route.
"Education" is craft, not art, but it is well-done craft.
