I left the theater feeling totally satisfied with my movie-going experience.
I needed to put that out there because there were only two other films that did that for me in the past several months: Up In The Air and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
A beautifully acted and written coming of age story about a teenager who has a love affair with an older man and the consequences that come along with innocence charmed and changed. Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is as cute as a button. Peter Sarsgaard as David was so believable: I really was drawn into his puppy love for this young girl. He was so charmingly manipulative and creepy without going overboard. The chemistry between all of the actors drew me in and just gripped me. There were some terribly uncomfortable moments which made my creepy-o-meter dial go crazy, but the story lead me through it, to land safely on the other side. I basically figured out what would happen in the end, but it was a satisfying ending without let-down or regret.
Terrific. Truly.
