This is one lovely film about a sixteen-year-old girl who knows she is not getting everything life has to offer from her calm suburban household. The girl is Jenny (Carey Mulligan); she is smart, pretty, and nice: the type of girl we would all like to date in high school. Unfortunately for Jenny she lives in the time before The Beatles; a time in which a girl can only hope for three possible futures: become a secretary, become a housewife, or become a teacher at a school that teaches girls to become one of the previous. Jenny does not see herself as any of the three and finds them quite boring (ad with good reason).
