- This year, it’s Carey Mulligan’s star-making turn as a 16-year-old schoolgirl who falls under the spell an older man in early ’60s London in “An Education.” Topped by a fine cast, a first-rate script by Nick Hornby and tight direction by Lone Scherfig, the film is a smart, moving but not inaccessible entry in the coming-of-age canon.

Our review: Parents say ( 2 ): Kids say ( 10 ): There are quibbles aplenty with AN EDUCATION -- Sarsgaard's wreck of an accent, to start, and a third act that attempts to wrap up too quickly to boot. But neither detracts from the period drama's considerable heft. This is a seriously good film.
