I'm hearing good things about An Education, one of the movies that premiered at Sundance. It's a coming-of-age story set in the 1960s, and it has quite the literary cred: it was based on a memoir by Lynn Barber, the screenplay was written by Wordcandy favorite Nick Hornby, and it stars Carey Mulligan, who had minor parts in the recent adaptations of both Bleak House and Pride and Prejudice.
