This movie shows a world different from the one I live in. Parents of a high school girl have NO reaction when a man 30 to 40 year old looking comes to take their daughter out. I can only imagine what it must have been like for parents when Michael Jackson would call their home and ask to speak to their young sons late a night. It was probably the same non reaction.

This movie would absolutely not work without Carey Mulligan’s heartbreakingly mature performance. The plot contrivances are quite silly in parts (the father character in particular, wonderful as Alfred Molina is), but Mulligan is an absolute revelation. She doesn’t underplay her young age and she doesn’t overplay her character’s relative maturity. Her performance alone really moves this movie up on my list.

The Lover is a far superior telling of the same story. I kept wanting Peter Saarsgaard to be some other actor, someone more chiseled, someone younger looking. I don’t buy that he doesn’t look like most of her friends’ fathers. Anyway, it was okay. Watch The Lover.
