An Education (2009)Directed by Lone Scherfig, rated PG-13, 100 minutes
An Education is a charming and subtle romantic drama, set in the 60's, about a young schoolgirl who meets and befriends a fetching, but much older playboy. Carey Mulligan, in a career-making performance, draws you into her character, which allows you to root for her even after some poor decisions, and Peter Sarsgaard has a perfect balance of charm and sleaze. All of the characters are believable and in their own, sometimes sad way, likable, and the writing is wonderful and often funny. An Education is a beautiful film, that covers all the sublime, happy feelings and miserably sad 
moments of growing up. You'll like it if: You like coming-of-age stories, young female protagonists, Peter Sarsgaard, The Graduate, High Fidelity or American Beauty.
