  • A beautiful cautionary tale for girls fantasizing about their futures. Yes, of course the romantic concept of an older man sweeping you off your feet, taking you places, and taking care of you without need of schooling is charming, but the reality of it can be quite crushing. I sincerely recommend this to all girls.

  • i feel old but not very wise.really true.

  • Oh My God Alfred Molina. Thumbs up if you geddit!!

  • Clueless self-destructive girl fucks-up her life throwing herself at a lying cheating manipulative douche-bag.

    Sounds pretty realistic to me.

  • I absolutely loved this film.

  • @GodWorse it's amazing

  • Beautiful movie!

  • i want to see this! if jenny is meant to be sixteen, how old is david supposed to be!? please answer! X

  • @lucycatherinex I think he's supposed to be like 30.

  • @lucycatherinex 35 !

  • watch this film like 6 times already. love it:)

  • how is the song called? please! i need to know

  • @clairefierces you've got me wrapped around your little fingers - beth rowley

  • I hate that bastard of David!!!!!! Jenny was Lovely :)

  • Lovely Carey Mulligan! She's the best performance 2009. She's deserved a Oscar, not Sandra Bullock.

  • i love this movie. this is exactly how my parents met!! <3

  • what a beautiful movie

  • this movie is so inspiring..it inspires people to learn from their mistakes and reach their full potential no matter what has happened in the past.

  • "my choice is to do something hard"

    lmfao

  • @RondoFan9999 and boring ;)

  • i was 16 and my boyfriend was 29. i could really relate to jenny. you feel so in love and excited with an older boyfriend. and until now were still together and married.

  • @gela85 the movie wasnt actually being in love with an older man,it was being in love with this new life that the guy was showing Jenny because as she said before him everything was so boring and then she understood that life wasnt what she thought

  • @gela85 and gudluck for ur rest of ur life

  • @xXxxxxXx584 nah no way, at 18 people start to see you as an adult, but a young one, people only really start treating you like a regular adult in your mid 20s, but obviously it varies depending on maturity

  • @xXxxxxXx584 I'm 16 and British and I wish I was treated like an adult :/

  • The thing I didn't like about this was that Jenny's dad was so intent on her studies and education, and then when she started getting serious with David, her dad was perfectly fine with her marrying him!

  • I don't really know if i liked the movie or not. Was very average to me, but the young girl reminds me so much of a girl i was deeply in love with for many years ago called Lea. Seeing Jenny brings back memories of her. Cos of that I saw the whole thing.

  • there is to much shit in this movie.

  • Serious film, that shows men can manipulate young girls.

  • @LasLatinidades its not about that at all .  wow where have u been

  • every girl needs to see this movie.

  • Just out of curiosity, was the grand place where the characters of Rosamund Pike and Dominic Cooper live anywhere near Regents Street? because it looks so familiar. I think I got lost a bit last year with all the no entry signs, just started driving in and out of those roads while of course admiring the view.

  • I love the trailer, but he looks like a pedophile, he looks like hes 40 and shes 16 xD lmao

  • My parents and friend's parents think I'm just like Jenny...haha is that supposed to be a compliment? Anyway, I'm 14 and I loved the movie. I think it really shows that there isn 't a shortcut to becoming successful. And that you shouldn't grow up too fast. Best line: "Somebody told me that in fifty years, nobody would be speaking Latin, probably. Not even Latin people." Ahh Helen...so sweet, with the best clothes ever, but so daft...

  • @Number1plus0

    IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Never mind Kate Middleton - I want to marry Carey Mulligan!

  • This movie makes me fall in love with England!

  • She's come a long way from Pride & Prejudice.She seems like a totally different actress now. She shows so much talent. Although it seems she's lost a bit of weight since P&P (which I am currently watching, so just saying). Love her!

  • Comment removed

  • i love the movie. i just watched it. it's amazing and even that is an understatement. she was flawless in the film and the movie was almost perfect

    definetly one of my favorite movies of all time :)

  • she dies at the end

  • Nice movie, I like it, but I read the book about that girl and I really love it. Read it!

  • @biriccina the book is called?

  • the title is "An Education" by Lynn Barber. It's about her whole life, not just the teenage years with David (who originally was called Simon, David was Barber's husband). She writes about her journalist career and has a funny, decesious style. I like it.

  • Simply beautiful film. Carey Mulligan is such a natural! She was so amazing in the film.

  • just saw this now what a lovely movie!

  • I love her she's amazing!

  • she was exceptional is Never Let Me Go, so i cannot wait to see this film.

  • wow the trailer sucks compared to the movie.

  • This movie was fabulous

  • this movie was just so good... MAJOR SPOILER ALERT but was I the only one who noticed that his wife and son were the same ones crossing the street the rainy day david met jenny?

  • carey mulligan made a fan of me in this movie. i love it.

  • i absolutely adore carey mulligan.

  • jenny has one of the cutest smiles ever..

  • I LOVE this movie so much!

  • a very beautiful movie.

  • i adore their accent

  • he was such a charmer wasn't he...

  • "actions build character..if we never did anything, we would never be anybody"

  • @obscurity87 very true

  • @obscurity87 The only people who don't make mistakes are those that don't do anything. For me, this means "jump in" and see what is really there and what it means to me. When I do this, I always find things I never expected and things about my self, that I needed to know. Life may be fragile but we are not; we are made for everything and forever.

  • fantastic film...

    happy new year!

  • One of the best films of the past few years. I loooove Carey Mulligan so much- she is absolutely adorable!!

    Does anybody else think though that this trailer gives too much away??!

  • This movie was amazing. One of the best of the year.

    I have been recommending it to all my friends who are girls. What an important moral it gives in such an amazing plot

  • he did a great job as the dad in Orphan, and it's kind of new hearing him with an accent. 

  • jane austen people:))

  • What's with Olivia Williams and OXFORD UNIV.?

    The film really worth seeing... is Polanski's thriller and eye-opener... The Ghost Writer.

    She's in it... and very good, whatsmore (as are ALL the cast).

  • If we never did anything, we wouldn't be anybody. Every teenage girl on this planet should watch this movie.

  • It should be required by law for every teenage girl to watch this brilliant film.

  • EXCELLENT movie! Absolutely brilliant. Peter Sarsgaard voice, as well as accent did annoy me quite a bit, though.

  • Wow, this movie looks really good. Looks like a worthy Best Picture nominee.

  • The only two films which star Peter Sarsgaard that I've seen are ones which he plays a villain and American...so he kind of creeps me out...btw is he American?

  • @stupidintellect90 Yea, watch garden state, hes amazing in it

  • @stupidintellect90 yes, he is an American

  • crap movies

  • I love this movie.every girl faces some temptation during their grown-up.but i am so happy to see jenny,finally understand the meaning of life and love.and i am so happy to see myself never lose my mind and the heart to pursue my dream.i was lost,but i beat it. Favorite quote"there is no shortcut to achieve the life we want." school,study is sometime boring and hard,but we get educated,we learnt the meaning of life from it.

  • @ninamikou and how many people have you met who have "achieved" the life they want through short cut or otherwise? As far as I'm aware there are very few - hence there are far too many people who way into their adult life say things like "school was the best years of my life"!

  • I loved how they met. Loved the movie.

  • That was such a great movie...

    I have to admit this inspired me somehow.

  • Sometimes Education isn't by books

  • I love this movie.:)

  • @hayley146666 I got this movie in 2 videos for 30minutes shows the story, go and see them, and tell me what you think

  • Take a look:

    I need your feedback....it's important! (for children protection!)

    youtube.com/watch?v=48saXiJE9M­g

    Thanks!

  • Care Mulligan was robbed an Oscar!!

  • Man I swear if i had a girl like Carey Mulligan. My life will be perfect......Oh did i say that out loud?

  • This is an amazing movie, seriously, watch it.

  • really good movie, I am actually 18 and I'm dating with an older man, and I totally felt identified with this movie beside the ending, and i believe that everything that they do about going to clubs jazz paris and stuff its pretty cool in the beginning and obviously more fun than study the hole day but if you drop off school just because a boy man whatever its pretty dump, she could be much more smarter than him and stay no matter what happens there's time for everything in this life

  • great movie :)

  • Peter Saarsgard is an amazing actor, and Carey Mulligan... wow. She's great! Can't wait to see it!

  • Do you think David really loved her?

  • @jessicalilac No. I reckon he would have divorced his wife and gone after her if he really did.

  • @jessicalilac I think he has been attracted to her, but not that love her. He neither love his wife. cause what he love is himself. He live in a fun world and enjoy it. He is just a selfish man. A selfish man, deep inside, he is unsecure. But outside, he turned to be strong and wise in order to cover his selfish and ignorant.

  • @jessicalilac No, it was just for fun. He felt lust, if he loved her he wouldnt have driven off, she wouldnt have been hurt by him.

  • i so want 2 see this bt don t know whether it got good reviews.suggestions pls?

  • what exactly do helen and danny do? are they con artists or art stealers? I wish it was more explained.

  • @Anaksunamen999 danny is davids business partner so i guess hes like a con artist too. i think helen is just a dumb blonde who doesnt really care about what they do and just goes along with them for the fun, clothes, and parties

  • This movie confirms that most men are true assholes

  • You dont know how boring was my life before i met you..

  • It looks like an ad for the tobacco companies.

    Can't these bastards leave a story alone without inserting smoking into every scene?

    Bollocks!

  • @ClaireseStarr get over yourself, it was the 60's, even dogs smoked back then

  • Why was she nominated for an Oscar? I mean come on... she wasn't that good. Sorry but it's just my opinion.

  • what's the last song called? looked for it but haven't found it... :(

  • Comment removed

  • nice one.....moral of the story......dont be betrayed by the jews.

  • @lateraligator2

    You Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger- Beth Rowley

    nice song!

  • i want to see this movie so bad when did it come out?

  • what song is it when it's like: "when we kiss"

  • She does a great job here :)

    I good lesson, I've felt like the character

  • an education of remedial reading for affected dummies that think nabakov's "lolita" was a celebration of the sexual exploitation of minors.

    of course molina the moron is in it.

    EVERY SINGLE PARAGRAPH of "lolita" tells the lucid reader that humbert humbert is completely insane and a child rapist.

  • i hate that carey bitch

  • @lovesababe

    ahaha why?

  • @pianistica ummmm cause shes dating my man! lmao. im just a bit jealous...

  • @lovesababe

    oh! ahaha Shia is great, I like him too...

    hope you don't hate me :P

  • @pianistica no your good...hahaha don't you just hate her a little?

  • @lovesababe

    As impossible as it seems I don't :P

    But hey! she has no ring on her finger so we still have a chance ahahahaha!

  • I finally watched this movie yesterday. It WAS good as the reviews had said. This film cheered me up. Carrie Mulligan is cute. This was such a good film.

  • Watching Carey Mulligan cheers me up. ......... She is lovely.

  • omg he's so cute

  • an absolutely beautiful movie : )

    i loved it

    its so meaningful and just beautiful

    veryy witty : ) <3

  • When I finished watching this movie, I thought to myself that there was nothing I didn't like about it. It's a really good movie. I would watch it again.

  • What a clever Little Movie on a topic that is extremly sensitive. Every member of the cast was Spot On in the rolls they played. I know why it was nominated for an Academy Award. Excellent!

  • @streetworm21 synopsis: young cunt gets fucked by rich old cunt around other dumb cunts

  • srry the movie is so plain nothing happens in it it had potential ....... but it sucked

  • zZZZzZZzzZZzz

  • Sucks that she dies at the end :(

  • @satuesday Why the eff did you have to go and ruin the move for whoever reads the comments. Ur an ass

  • @ValleyGurlFrmHell I'm kidding!

  • @satuesday she doesn't lmao

  • If you're trying to decide whether or not to watch this, I really suggest you do. It's a really good romance/drama.

  • looks a bit boring, but after reading the comments I'll give it a try :)

  • @lunachi007 yeah, it seemed boring to me at first, but it's not, give it a shot! it's a cute film :)

  • looks gay

    

  • @MrQuirkey10 thats what the doc said when you were delivered

  • @MrQuirkey10 so do u

  • wow im happy for you "theMrVIachos" .. (:

    You are a lucky guy! And it is a great movie to see on a first date i think! (:

  • This movie was like telling me in some way every women story in the world :) I couldn't be more pleased, sad, confused and amazed by this movie ^^

  • ive watched this film like 20 times, it was just awesome carey shouldve one the oscar.

  • very good movie!

  • this film is so good. a must watch.

  • looks nice....based on this trailer.

  • I feel old, but not very wise!

  • "Action is character, if we never did anything we wouldn't be anybody."

    I think Intention is more Character than Action...

  • @NotAlwaysGentle True but what would intention be without action ? I think she means to emphasize on results, effects, what truly makes you feel alive.

  • @pipiboudain Nevertheless if i.e. a man falls and injures himself and I put him into recovery position, not knowing that thereby his spine is hurt lethally, then I killed a man in effect, but the intention was to help him recover. Good intention, bad effect. What would that then mean for my character?

    I got your point though... even the best intents aren't any good as long as they're not put into action. So yes, maybe action is character after all.

  • Such a brilliant film; truly one of the year's best. I just adored it!

  • This was an amazing movie. The best I've seen in a long while.

  • David played the bad guy in the movie flightplan.

  • omg. fantastic film - great acting!. i got a copy at "bigmovies4free" - hope they make another one!! :P

  • I think she should have won an academy award! She was amazing!

  • 1:11 what's the name of the song?! PRETTY PLEASE!!

  • ahh two Bennett sisters are is this movie

  • @1alilsleepy yea. its cool to meet again after pride and prejudice i guess. havn't watch this movie yet... i missed it at the cinemas and i cant afford the CD (yet)
