| Event Description: | |
| An Audrey Hepburn for the new millennium? You will not want to miss Carey Mulligan's star-is-born performance as a smugly smart '60's schoolgirl in suburban London who dreams of sophisticated alternatives to Latin verbs and finds herself swept away by a suave older man (Peter Sarsgaard, sexy and seedy). That this rebellious lass suffers the ultimate teen indignity - instead of being shocked, her overly protective parents approve of the mismatch - is just one of the often bittersweet life-altering revelations that await her. The big hit at Sundance, it has not only received four-star reviews from Roger Ebert, Rex Reed, Associated Press, People Magazine, et al, but has been nominated as Best Picture of the Year and Best Actress by the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes. 95 min. PG-13 | |
