Touting an astonishing cast of characters including Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina, An Education is a story of a teenage girl's coming-of-age in 1961 London written by Brit lit sensation Nick Hornby and directed by Lone Scherfig. Coming to us straight from the Mill Valley Film Festival, and with accolades from the Toronto and Telluride festivals, this film is definitely one to watch.

After an open weekend highlighted by the regional premieres of Lone Scherfig’s An Education and Katherine Dieckmann’s Motherhood, which helped earn star Uma Thurman a festival award, Mill Valley’s annual celebration of cinema from all corners of the globe continues through next weekend.
