An Education

This film is worth seeing for Carey Mulligan's praise-worthy performance of Jenny,  a 16 year old girl morphing into a woman of wisdom and sophistication.   Roguish love-interest, Peter Sarsgaard, although an actor of note, isn't quite charismatic or hunky enough to compel me to believe that Jenny would trade her scholarly ambitions for a dingy life with him in London.  Felt repetitive and slightly trite, but captures mood and place competently.  Can't offer a ringing endorsement....Off to see Bronson!
