 Just about perfect September 8, 2010
Anne (kent uk)
Here's how to make a truely great film: find a good story (true ones are usually the most interesting), get someone who can really write (like Nick Hornby) to write the script, assemble a cast of the kind of great British actors, like Alfred Molina and Emma Thompson, who can give acting masterclasses in their sleep (Rosamund Pike is terrific also, she almost steals the show).
There you go, Bob's you uncle! Not rocket science is it?
A nice easy going film September 2, 2010

An Education has the look and feel of a film actually made in the sixties (the decade in which it is set). It is a no frills drama with a very subtle screenplay by Nick Hornby that hooks and engages. The moral of the story is about making the right choices in life. A young bright schoolgirl(and her mum & dad) are taken in by a charmer and the choice is seemingly instant frills & adventure or a uniform life that begins at (Oxford) university . Watch the film to see if the right choice is made!!
 Perhaps an A-minus? August 25, 2010

Rather disappointing. The hype about the film, with promises of Oscars etc., led to higher expectations than I felt justified. It is perfectly competent, and the acting is excellent, but the story was conventional and predictable. Carey Mulligan is as good as they said, and Peter Sarsgaard makes a surprisingly believable English rogue. Certainly worth viewing, but a little underwhelming?

This is a charming film, romantic, serious and funny. Not substantial, but it gives an authentic slice of English life - teachers, parents and institutions. It's a bit sexy and a bit sad. I was intrigued by the deleted scenes, which showed how the story could have gone in slightly different directions. For anyone who has applied to Oxbridge, or who had pushy dysfunctional parents, you'll be at home. I liked the bit at the end when the dad delivers a cup of tea to his grieving daughter. One thing I noticed, it was only 2/3rds full. Sure to cause a family argument in most households I thought...
how could anyone not like this film?! August 6, 2010

The best film I have seen for ages! If you're a woman and lived through school life in the 60's or even 70's,this must evoke some kind of memories. The father so wanting his daughter to 'get on' in life, the 'tunnel vision' of the education system at the time, and the limited expectations of both the parents and the school - no wonder Jenny went off with David!!!Watch this film, walk down memory lane and laugh!
