Author Nick Hornby turns from novels to screenplays with this talent-driven drama. Carey Mulligan (BLEAK HOUSE) 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, Rosamunde Pike, Dominic Cooper, Olivia Williams, and Emma Thompson.

PG-13 for mature thematic material involving sexual content, and for smoking. – 95 minutes.

"Hornby's humane and humorous screenplay is true to the film's title: In short order, young Jenny finds out important truths about identity, glamour and how adults really think and live."
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"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

"[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

"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
