An Education

























Directed by Lone Sherfig
Screenplay Adaptation by Nick Hornby
Cast: Carrey Mulligan


Carey Mulligan indeed captures the naivety and spark of intelligence in what they call as ‘coming of age’ drama. She received a nominated for the Best Actress at the Academy for her role. The plot is no stunner, its not something being show cased for the first time. However the treatment, the subtlety and the impact are what Lone Sherfig has been able to bring out beautifully. Nick Hornby of High Fidelity fame has done the screenplay for this film and bagged an Academy Award nomination too. The film was also nominated in the Best Film category, which definitely is a huge recognition.

The academy nomination only apt to the injustice of not winning. Not once did I find myself convinced enough about how could sandra bullock is able to win leave about getting nominated for it. The school girl portray of 'Carey Mulligan' and the hardships of a young mother played by 'Gabourey Sidibe' in Precious leaves me flustered even more that there are some root causing problems with academy also when it comes to giving awards where its justified. I don't know about others but for me for bullock to receive an academy award for blind side is an utter Non-Sense.
