Reviews

Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
An Education captures the very limited possibilities for female liberation in early-'60s London -- with massive social change on the distant horizon, but not here yet -- in exquisite detail.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Afterward, you'll want to listen to the Beatles sing ''She's Leaving Home.'' It might be a girl like Jenny the lads had in mind.
91
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
An Education shares with Hornby’s best work trenchant insight into the way smart, hyper-verbal young people let the music, films, books, and art they love define themselves as they figure out who they are and what they want to be.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - James Greenberg
Topped by a fine cast, a first-rate script by Nick Hornby and tight direction by Lone Scherfig, the film is a smart, moving but not inaccessible entry in the coming-of-age canon.
88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
An Education is remarkable for the traps it doesn't fall into. Jenny, for all her naive impulses, isn't a victim.
