A FILM BY Lone Scherfig
A celebration of intellectual curiosity and personal adventure, An Education"" is a wonderful film.""
-Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
[Mulligan] makes the role luminous when it could have been sad or awkward. She has such lightness and grace, you're pretty sure this is the birth of a star.
-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
No movie I've seen in a very long time has touched me so deeply, or bestowed so much pleasure.
-Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Playing a character who is herself a rare bloom in a field of mediocrity, Mulligan has a star quality they can't teach in acting school.
-Scott Foundas, Village Voice
Un film miraculeux!
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Magazine
Synopsis
Jenny is a bright young girl on the cusp of her 17th birthday who finds herself in a whirlwind romance with a much older David. Prior to meeting David, Jenny was trying to excel in her life by going to a prep school to get into Oxford. Once she sees the lifestyle David can provide, one she never imagined might so easily be hers, she is hooked and thoughts of Oxford go out the window. Then, when things are looking pretty good for Jenny with the dashing (yet a little too smooth) David, the truth hits her like a ton of bricks. Jenny goes from being a bright eyed school girl to a sophisticated young lady and then all the way back to questioning if she really knows who she is at all. Will David be the making of Jenny or her undoing?Theatrical Release Date
