Some may find this story disturbing as it involves a relationship between a young girl and an older man. However it is important to understand that in many cultures relationships such as this took place and actually still do. The relationship in this story is not about judgement, it is about sharing an experience that took place many years ago when such things were not as frowned upon as they are now. Carey Mulligan is a 16 year old student destined for great things until she meets an older man (played by Peter Sarsgaard) then suddenly nothing else matters to her but their relationship. All the while her parents, teachers and friends question her judgement about the relationship. The story is about young love in the 1960s England. It is about how one girls life is suddenly changed when she meets and is charmed by a man who lives in a world she has only dreamed of. The movie is very well directed and the acting is above average. Additional Cast members include: Alfred Molina, Cara Seymour, Dominic Cooper, Emma Thompson, Matthew Beard, Olivia Williams, Rosamund Pike, and Sally Hawkins The movie is rated PG, for suggestive scenes. This movie is not for everyone so use your own judgement.Read full review
