Overview
Despite her sheltered upbringing, Jenny is a teen with a bright future; she's smart, pretty, and has aspirations of attending Oxford University. When David, a charming but much older suitor, motors into her life in a shiny automobile, Jenny gets a taste of adult life that she won't soon forget.
This is another perfect example of an unbelievable movie that flew under the radar. An Education is about a 16 year old girl that falls for an older gentleman. I know, this story has been done before (even though it is a rather strict interpretation of a true story). The beauty in this film is the story that surrounds the affair. I wish I could do it justice but you’ll have to watch the film to understand.
