Author Nick Hornby (About a Boy) turns from novels to screenplays with this talent-driven, critically-acclaimed drama.
Newcomer Carey Mulligan (Bleak House), in a star-making performance, stars as Jenny, a young woman full of promise and intent to study at Oxford. But meeting an older man (Peter Sarsgaard, Elegy) leads Jenny to believe that she can learn things outside the classroom, casting doubt on her future plans.
Directed by Lone Scherfig (Italian for Beginners), this brilliant film also stars Alfred Molina (Spiderman 2), Rosamunde Pike, Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia!), Olivia Williams, and Emma Thompson.
Just as Jenny is dazzled by her dashing playboy, so will you be by this enchanting film.
