An Education
A suburban London teen finds her traditional education replaced by something slightly more sinister when an older, more worldly suitor sweeps her off of her feet while placing her future in jeopardy. London, 1961: 16-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is smart, attractive, and eager to start her adult life. She's grown tired of the familiar adolescent routine, so when urbane newcomer David (Peter Sarsgaard) appears in town, Jenny senses a rare opportunity to shake things up a bit. Quickly falling under David's spell, the impressionable Jenny begins accompanying her newfound beau to classical concerts, art auctions, crowded pubs, and dinners that stretch into the small hours of the night. But Jenny is brighter than most kids her age, and her parents always dreamt of getting their exceptional daughter into Oxford. These days it seems like she's headed in a different direction -- will David ultimately be her undoing, or the person who helps her finally realize her true potential?

Not a bad little effort.
Well acted with a clever story line, but a bit slow in parts though. Not sure at all about the title of the film though.

Depends what you're after
I enjoyed it but it depends what you want from a film. If you're a high-octane thrill-seeker this ain't going to cut the old moutarde. If you like to be... read more »

- 06 Jul 2011

The star was 23 when she filmed her scenes as 16-year-old Jenny, who is romanced by an older man, played by Peter Sarsgaard, and she won an Oscar nomination for her performance. Schwimmer, whose new film Trust shows a teenager lured to a motel for sex by an online predator old enough to be... Read more
