An Education

Danish director Lone Scherfig (Italian for Beginners) delivers with this smashing coming of age film set in 1960's London about a beautiful and smart teenager who has to choose between an education at Oxford or from life with a charming man twice her age. The film seduces with a lot of charm and humor which is refreshing with a stellar cast that includes Carey Mulligan in a star making performance and the excellent Peter Sarsgaard who finally gets his due with a perfect role as the leading man. Beautifully written by novelist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) and executed by Sherfig and her impeccable cast and crew. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
