I found Carey Mulligan quite annoying as Catherine in the ITV version of Northanger Abbey, but I think she might be quite good in this new film from Lone Scherfig and Nick Hornby. The storyline of an ordinary school girl becoming romantically involved with a rich older man (played by Peter Sarsgaard) is quite interesting here, as it differs from the typical cliché of a sleazy older man dating a slutty teenage girl. The film had a very positive response when shown at Sundance earlier this year, and I’m pleased that for once there is a British film I’m looking forward to seeing, because that’s quite a rare occurence.
