An Education
Author Nick Hornby turns from novels to screenplays with this talent-driven drama. Carey Mulligan stars as Jenny, a young woman full of promise and intent to study at Oxford. But meeting an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) leads Jenny to believe that she can learn things outside the classroom, casting doubt on her future plans. Directed by ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS' Lone Scherfig, AN EDUCATION also stars Alfred Molina and Emma Thompson.
Captivatingly written, directed and acted with sensitivity and nuance, this is one of the best films of the year. It lives up to its title in more ways than one. (New York Observer)
A quiet miracle of a movie that quickly disabuses you of the idea that you've seen it all before. (Rolling Stone)
