Genre: Mature Audience, Drama
A bright and appealing 17-year-old student in a London girls school is seduced by a man almost twice her age. Her ambitions to attend Oxford are frustrated when he proposes marraige. Her family buys into the relationship since they are unlikely to be able to afford college, unless a scholarship comes through. But you wait for things to go awry. This is a simple, well-done movie with believable characters and an occasional touch of humor. One critic seems to think Carey Mulligan as the young girl will see her career take off from this point, and he may be right.
