An Education by Nick Hornby

4.0

A screenplay based on a memoir essay by Lynn Barber, adapted by Nick Hornby. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm kind of curious to, now. It's about a sixteen-year-old girl in England in 1962. She starts dating an older man, and it's how her family, friends, and teachers react. The ending was wonderful. The alternate ending was ehh - but that's why it was the alternate! It was a quick read - I read it in two hours, tops, so I'm curious how it would translate on screen - what moments would be expanded and made more important, etc.
