An Education (PG-13) ; Scherfig, 95 min. A seamless exploration of growing up and dealing with our missteps, An Education is Lone Scherfig’s elegant masterpiece about the hardships of a teenager growing up in 1960’s England. Carey Mulligan plays (and is) Jenny, in perhaps the most noteworthy female performance of the year. Her naivity transforms flawlessly to womanhood before our eyes. She is truly a wonder to behold. Peter Sarsgaard plays the older man who swoons her, taking her into his magical, glamorous world. This should fare well come Oscar season - Best Picture and Best Actress nods should be a lock. And deservedly so. Grade: A
