This was a very satisfying film. A clever story, very deft direction, solid production values and a cast that just didn't quit. Mulligan, Sarsgaard and Coopera absolutely sold the story. I especially enjoyed the smooth unraveling of each character's personality - all quite believable, mulitdimensional and sympathetic characters. I was eager to get to know these people. Having grown up in this era, I can vouch that, that too, was spot on.
If this movie sounds appealing to you, you will probably love it.!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Excellent screenplay, acting, directing, costumes, etc. Peter Sarsgaard and Carey Mulligan are charming and believable in the major roles. Risks taken and lessons learned are clear and not sappy except, perhaps, for Jenny's father (Alfred Molina)'s late-in-the-movie attempt to communicate. "An Education" prompted much discussion about relationships, between the leads as well as between Peter Sarsgaard's David and his friends played by Dominic Coopera nd Rosamund Pike, and about England and the US in the early 60s. Being only 4 years younger than memoirist Lynn Barber, I found that the entire movie resonated.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My husband and I thought this was the best movie we'd seen in awhile. Everything about it was superb: the acting, the photography, the storytelling, the fashion...all top notch. We left thoroughly entertained and emotionally "filled up".
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Withouth a doubt one of the best films of the year. The story, the script, the pace, the casting - everything about it seems to have been judged just right. It's funny, poignant and sad, entertains you and leaves you with something to think about... what more can one ask?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's difficult to tell where this story of a young, innocent love affair will take you until it shocks you with the brutal truth. The young girl's innocence is unquestionable throughout the film, and it truly feels like genuine love for her perspective. However, the guy provides her with an education that she'll never forget. In fact, his immorality proves to be beyond belief and you're not likely to figure out the length of his deception (not to mention previous crimes) until they're told to you. This is a well crafted movie that most will enjoy.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
