RECENT RELEASE: An Education
May 7th, 8pm
Nick Hornby has adroitly adapted and given a dramatic shape to the bestselling memoir by Lynn Barber, telling the true story of how, in the early 1960s, she was seduced as a 16-year-old schoolgirl by an older man.
It's a sad, painful comedy, and the lovely performance from Carey Mulligan makes it a very enjoyable film.
