Synopsis:

In 1961, an attractive, bright 16-year-old schoolgirl named Jenny dreams of Oxford University, and can’t wait for adult life to begin. When she meets 30-ish David, she is introduced to a glittering new world of concerts and late-night dinners with his attractive friends. David replaces Jenny’s traditional education with his own version, picking her up from school and whisking her off to art auctions and smoky clubs. Just as the family’s long-held dream of getting their brilliant daughter into Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by another kind of life. Will David be the making of Jenny or her undoing?

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes: “An Education is remarkable for the traps it doesn't fall into. Jenny, for all her naive impulses, isn't a victim.”

An Education is written by Nick Hornby, the celebrated British author of About a Boy and High Fidelity.

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times writes: “This is a performance, and a film, to cherish for this year and always.”
