An Education

This offbeat coming-of-age drama is set in a London suburb in the early 1960s, where a 16-year-old girl (Carey Mulligan) on the fast track to Oxford University develops an unusual friendship with a man (Peter Sarsgaard) nearly twice her age. Romanceblossoms as she is swept up in Sarsgaard's cultured, sophisticated lifestyle. But a shocking revelation about his life makes Mulligan realize she may be growing up a little too fast. With Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike, Olivia Williams, and Emma Thompson. 100 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French; audio commentary; deleted scenes; featurettes.
