Immediately after arriving at home from seeing An Education a few months back, I declared that Carey Mulligan was going to one day be a big big star – of likely Julia Roberts caliber. Not exactly going out on a limb there, but still.
Then a pair of films receive buzz at Sundance. Then an Oscar nod and in the top 5 best dressed at the Kodak that night. This is the beginning of the beginning folks.
The other film at Sundance, not nominated for a best picture Oscar, was The Greatest, co-starring Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon. Yesterday a trailer for the film hits the Tubes of You and was suddenly removed. Thanks to the gnarly kids over at Trailer Addict, we’re still able to check out the clip.
The film concerns a pregnant young girl whose boyfriend dies in a car crash, and the uneasy relationship she forges with his parents. Overly melodramatic at least, vomit-inducing at worst, I fear the movie could be rather eye-rolling. Still, Mulligan looks good here and for now, she’s got my money.













I may be in love with her.
