An Education

The wife picked this movie out on Netflix. Carey Mulligan playing a high school girl who ends up being seduced by an older man. This changes her dreams of going to Oxford. Her father, played by Alfred Molina, who had pictured her going to college to meet a future husband thinks that perhaps her meeting an older, mature, caretaking man is a great choice.

However the lover man is a fraud and what made him attractive soon turns to a falsity. He is married.

So after dropping out of school, not taking her exams for college she is in a mess. Fortunately there are opportunities for help in her future.

This movie was not great. Of course it just may be that it was not my personal cup of tea. But I would give this movie nothing more than an average rating.
