This movie was so well cast. The characters are very believable and charming. I loved this movie. I watched it 3 times to appreciate the great acting and thoughtful directing. ... Don't miss it. Full Review
Excellent production, scripting, directing, and acting. Nicely paced with perfect timing. Totally believable in being psychologically valid. Characters are nicely developed and quite real.
Saw this movie last night. I differ from some of the posters here. I didn't see this film as anti-semitic at all. This movie was more about life decisions for a young woman growing up. There were c... haracters in the movie which identified themselves, through their dialogue, as Jewish but they could have easily have inserted "Roman Catholic", "Baptist", "Lutheran", etc. Their Jewishness had very little to do with the plot of the movie. For me, it was an artistic portrayal of a young woman coming of age in British 1960s. Wardrobe, hair, and make-up was flawless. in this movie. Carey Mulligan did an outstanding job in her role. I hope to see her in more movies soon. Full Review
It was a good story about growing up, learning, and making mistakes along the way. It was set in the 60's, so there were more prejudices back then. They were what they were. I have to give an A+ fo... r the young female lead actress. She made a good movie even better. Full Review
