Education, An

Superb acting dominates this Oscar-nominated, touching, down-to-earth, coming-of-age film in which a 16-year-old, Oxford-bound, British student (Carey Mulligan), who lives with her stick-in-the-mud parents (Alfred Molina and Cara Seymour) outside London and ignores the advice of a concerned Latin teacher (Olivia Williams) and a strict principal (Emma Thompson) at her private school, gets caught up in the advances of a charming, much-older man (Peter Sarsgaard) when he invites her to concerts, nightclubs, and Paris with his gallivanting friends (Dominic Cooper and Rosamund Pike) in 1961.
