The Education of Charlie Banks (2007) is a coming‑of‑age drama following a privileged college student whose past resurfaces when a volatile childhood acquaintance reenters his life. As old tensions collide with new identities, the film explores guilt, class divides, and the uneasy transition from adolescence into adulthood. Jesse Eisenberg delivers a thoughtful, introspective performance in a story about confronting the consequences of who we were — and who we’re becoming.
Directed by Fred Durst. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Jason Ritter and Eva Amurri.
