'An Education' movie review by Crosswalk.com

Crosswalk.com recommneds this PG-13 movie.


Instead, An Education, which was based on a short memoir by British journalist Lynn Barber and adapted to screen by popular novelist Nick Hornby (About a BoyHigh Fidelity) is really the decidedly retro story of an unlikely May-December romance (and no, we're not talking Cougar style here … the "December" here is actually the man).

In addition to having an excuse to serve up an old-fashioned love story complete with a gloriously throwback aesthetic a la TV's Mad Men, the movie also poses the age-old question of which educational experiences are really the most important—what happens in the classroom or outside of it in "the real world."
