IMDB
An Oxford bound 16 year old girl with strict parents falls for a much older man. He takes her on trips and keeps her parents at bay. Meanwhile, her grades are slipping and Oxford is becoming less likely.
A very fine film with a great performance from Carey Mulligan. I’m a bit of a sucker for a romantic movie, and this was no exception, although it was a negative romantic movie. The screenplay is by Nick Hornby, who wrote the “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy” novels. This movie is not like those, it’s better. Based on a memoir by Lynn Barber.
8/10
