Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Cara Seymour, Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike, Olivia Williams, Emma Thompson, Sally Hawkins
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! If for nothing else, to feel the energy of newcomer, Carey Mulligan's captivating performance.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: More so if you're highly educated and speak British.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: No, but you do end up feeling sorry for just about everybody in it.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: It will certainly spend money on a campaign. I've already seen the propaganda machine start to spin... Oh, and it won the Dramatic Audience Award for World Cinema at Sundance.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Carey Mulligan embodies the character completely, laughing nervously when she's happy, excited, and nervous.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: The Cinematography, which also won an award at Sundance, is beautiful. And that always makes a director look good.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: It's a somewhat original story, but still, there are several moments that may have you scratching your head. Like, first of all, why is everyone in the film so laissez-faire about that fact that a 16-year-old girl is dating a guy in his 30s? Her parents, her teachers, her friends, not one of them points out that it's a little weird. In fact, her parents, who don't seem to like anyone, love this guy, and I suppose I could have used a by numbers explanation of why.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
