girls, have you seen this film?
it is incredible.
no, really, i mean it.
because a coming-of-age story as such hits home to girls who let themselves be made prey by married thirty-something men. you are young. you are impressionable. you are vulnerable. and in him, lie answers to questions you never before thought to ask. right?
or maybe it is just incredible to me. a girl who's coming-of-age story involved letting herself be made prey by a married thirty-something man. because i was young. and i was impressionable. and i was vulnerable. and in him lay the answers to questions i never before thought to ask and afterwards wished that i hadn't.
and about carey mulligan's performance? ::stands and applauds::
most poignantly? in jenny we see that it isn't only the vapid and vacuous that are susceptible to the sweet nothings of romance. naïveté cannot be unlearned with books.

I agree, I love the twist and turns of the story. Peter Sarsgaard's acting is amazing. He definitely gave the character of David Goldman justice. I hope to see more movies like this in the future.
