The description for An Education goes like this: "A coming-of-age story about a teenage girl in 1960s suburban London, and how her life changes with the arrival of a playboy nearly twice her age." And the new trailer for the movie, written by Nick Hornby, shows just that. In fact, the whole movie seems to unfold within this trailer, and yet, I still really, really want to see the movie. In a rare occurrence, I'm anxious to find out what happens in between all the scenes we see in the preview. This is largely due to the engaging cast, which includes Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina and Rosamund Pike. Carey Mulligan, as the young woman at the center of the story, is particularly riveting, a spirited pixie with a sharp mind and the sweetest, most innocent face in the world.
An Education opens in limited release here in the U.S. Oct. 9. To watch the trailer, read more.

he's my favorite author! I don't know how I haven't heard about this earlier. Thanks for the post, Buzz!
1This looks amazing! Is it based on a book? Does anyone know the song the woman was singing?
2looks great, can't wait!
3@ Pinguins268 According to Wikipedia it's "based on an autobiographical memoir of the same title written by the British journalist Lynn Barber."
I would love to see it I looks absolutely wonderful. I should read the memoir before seeing the movie.
4Buzz I really REALLY want to see this. Looks interesting!!
5is it just me, or is Peter Sarsgaard channeling Ewan McGregor in this film?
6oooh!
7Given, I'm a sucker for older man romances. But this looks very good.
8this just looks fabulous.
9i love nick hornby as an author.... so keeping my fingers crossed for this.
I've never actually watched any of the Nick Hornby movies or read any of his books, but I'm definitely going to catch this movie.
10I love Nick Hornby, but I still haven't recovered from what those awful Hollywood people did to About A Boy

11I'm so excited for this film!
12This movie looks amazing! Anyone who watches Doctor Who will remember Carey Mulligan from the classic Who episode 'Blink'. She's wonderful.
13And Peter Sarsgaard is one of my favorite actors. Thought his character in this movie was an American, so am feverishly looking forward to seeing him!
Carey did a wonderful job, but the storytelling was choppy, with a lack of character development and sudden plot twists that were jarring.
