We know we are basically a music blog, and as such, mostly write about music (well durrrrr)... but sometimes we just feel the need to widen our focus a bit, and so we shall. If you haven't seen fun and genuinely touching British film An Education, then we suggest you do so. It's sweet, and affecting and totally captures what it's like to simultaneously feel old before your time and frighteningly naïve, as a teenager.One of the reasons it's so good and not just another coming-of-age-tale with prestige pretensions, is the radiant, ridiculously likeable and vulnerable performance from the excellent young Carey Mulligan (seen here in US Vogue). She's a star on the rise and all that stuff, and we've been a fan ever since she played that OTHER sister in the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice (you know... the one that wasn't Rosamund Pike, Keira Knightley, Jena Malone or that girl from St. Trinian's). She also made a fetching heroine in one of the better Dr. Who episodes, "Blink".
Anyway: 'amazing times', readers.
