Dir: Lone Scherfig UK 2009 100 mins Cert: UK12A
Cast: Alfred Molina, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Williams, Peter Sarsgaard, Dominic Coop, Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson
A very unsentimental education it was, too.
Nick Hornby has adroitly adapted and given a dramatic shape to the bestselling memoir by Lynn Barber, telling the true story of how, in the early 1960s, as a 16-year-old schoolgirl she was seduced by an older man.
The story, as it is played out, is not too far from the kitchen-sink dramas from the 60s era.
Traditionally, it's the working-class girl who gets above herself, gets into trouble and has to get it sorted. But this girl is middle class and pregnancy isn't what happens: what is aborted, or almost aborted, is Jenny's Oxford career.
But she is a survivor and the story of her heroic defiance is both inspirational and very funny.
