My Review:

 

Surprised by Oxford is the story of Caro Drake and it is based on a true story. The film shows how she obtained her masters at Oxford University in England. She focused on her degrees in Romantic-Era literature, which is iconic since she tried to avoid love. It was interesting to watch her met Kent and how he tried to pursue her and at first, she wanted no part of him or love. There is a mixture of religion in the film. Kent grew up Protestant and believes in waiting for marriage. Caro has her doubts with religion and Christianity. She believes more in knowledge and she struggling with the fear of the unknown. It was compelling to observe how Kent would recommend C.S. Lewis works to her to read and how this allowed a door to open in her life. I also liked how the film showed the beginning of her life and how her father was arrested and this broke her relationship with her father. It covered the majority of her life and I thought they did a wonderful job at linking everything together. There is some cuss words and references to sex but it is rated PG-13 and it wasn’t anything overly bad. Watchers will enjoy watching this true story come to life.
