Quiz
The creative team was initially worried about casting the 22-year-old Carey Mulligan in the role of a 16-year-old but was convinced by her screentest. Rosamund Pike reportedly really wanted the small part of Helen because "no one ever lets me be funny."

Blooper
When Jenny finally passes her A levels, she mentions grades. The film is set in 1961 - A level grades were first introduced in 1963. Although,when she's studying at home, it is implied that a significant amount of time passes, it is unlikely to have taken her beyond 1962 when, essentially, you either passed or failed GCE exams.

Citazioni
Jenny: If you never do anything, you never become anyone.

Curiosità sui crediti
The opening credits are shown against a background of animated chalk-like drawings, all illustrating various stages and segments of "an education," although not sequentially.

Carey Mulligan is lovely, Peter Sarsgaard too slimy

It's early 1960's London. Jenny Mellor (Carey Mulligan) is a sheltered schoolgirl aiming to go to Oxford. She meets David Goldman (Peter Sarsgaard) one rainy afternoon. He's a mysterious older man who opens her eyes to the exciting world outside her life at home. He's so slick that even her parents fall for him. Only there's more of a dark side to David. He does questionable things to keep his highlife. She joins him as her live inevitable slide downwards.

It's annoying how easily deceived her father (Alfred Molina) is. He's more caricature than anything. There are some wonderful exchanges with Miss Stubbs (Olivia Williams). Peter Sarsgaard is so obviously slimy that it's offputting. Carey Mulligan is absolutely lovely. She puts in a great performance.
