John is out of town so tonight I will be curling up with Alfred and a glass of Elizabeth Rose rosé (a gift from a friend in Napa—I’ll let you know what I think!) to watch An Education. I’ve heard such wonderful things and it finally came out on DVD this morning. I think Carey Mulligan is the cutest and am eager to see all the vintage costumes and interiors. Have you seen it? Am I in for a treat?
UPDATE: I already finished it! Carey Mulligan was positively lovely. Her character was such a kindred spirit (the Catholic school girl memories came rushing back…). Any Neo-Trads that have yet to see it absolutely must, you’ll be charmed, I’m sure of it! Off to download the soundtrack… XO Katie
You know what if I can get myself to a Blockbuster after work I just might have to take a cue from the NEO-trad, I’ve been dying to see it! It’s cloudy and cool in D.C. – the weatherman’s definitely calling for a movie night in. We can compare notes in the morning! XO
Oh, Kate! You are going to LOVE this movie. I mean, LOVE it. The wardrobe is perfect. I watched it over my spring break and am completely obsessed. Enjoy : )
Natalie — Do it! I went to Blockbuster this morning to get it because I didn’t want to wait on NetFlix. By the way, John and I are trying to figure out which weekend to make it to DC before we move to California in late May. I’ll email you! XOXO
Ooh, this looks so good. I will be spending my evening in night class, so your evening of curling up with a movie and glass of wine is making me feel quite jealous. ;) Let me know if it’s as wonderful as it looks.
I can’t wait to hear what you think! I’ve REALLY been wanting to see this! Have a good night with Alfie! xoxo
Saw it with my Movie Diva group–good flick that generated a great discussion. Carey Mulligan is fantastic.
You are certainly in for a treat, my dear! The clothes, the British setting, the excellent acting – magnifique! Parts of the movie I found disturbing, but I finished the film wholly fulfilled! Have a glorious evening!
I have not seen it but your evening sounds amazingly relaxing! Enjoy:)
I really want to see this too–heard it great. Enjoy!!
K – you’re in for such a treat! It’s so divine! You’ll be singing french folk music for the next 24 hours. Carey Mulligan is brilliant in the role. Enjoy!
I just saw it at Target and wasn’t sure if I should get it…after reading comments, I’m going back.
I’m planning on seeing it tonight too! (:
ok i am definitely seeing it. hope you enjoyed that rose’….. xoxo
Netflix is delivering it tomorrow! canNOT wait!
This is very high on my list! Missed it in the theaters, but now I’m looking forward to being charmed :) Carey Mulligan is adorable!
Did you see A Single Man? The set and costumes were wonderful in that one too – hard to go wrong with a bit of Colin Firth and Tom Ford leading the ship :)
Oh I have been really wanting to see it! Hopefully it will play on the planes soon, will be available on youtube, or that we will get NetFlix again soon! I’ve heard the wardrobe is incredible!
I loved An Education!
The clothes, they were phenomenal, and the story? Even better.
i saw it twice in theaters and loved it both times!! she is absolutely adorable! and i totally agree with karen… see A Single Man! such a beautifully made film.
xoxo

Am so curious about this movie. Thanks for the positive review. Maybe I’ll be picking that up this weekend. How was the wine?
Simply Luxurious — The wine was fantastic. I think I’m going to do a post about it! XO
As soon as we came home from the theater, my S and I bought the soundtrack off itunes. SO worth it. Amazing music. Fantastic movie. That Carey Mulligan won my heart over so hard:)
Lauren — I’m listening to it now!!! Sooooo good!
i am obsessed..!but i cancelled netflix! i guess i will go join the local video rental place..
I haven’t seen it yet, but there’s an open air movie theater here in San Diego that will be showing it in the next week or two. I love the idea of this movie set against a background of stars on a warm San Diego night. And now that you’ve recommended it so highly, I’ll definitely make sure to go see it.
LOVE this and LOVE Ms.Mulligan. This movie made a crumby transatlantic flight not-so-bad after all!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this yet! A must!
