The Hollywood Reporter described "An Education" as a coming-of-age drama based on journalist Lynn Barber's memoir and starring Carey Mulligan as an Oxford-bound, suburban teen whose life is turned upside down against the backdrop of the "swinging 1960s culture."
Shooting is slated to begin late next month in London, the trade paper said.
