Opening this Friday is a fantastic film called "An Education". The movie was written by Nick Hornby and it's based on a memoir by Lynn Barber. Anyway, it's a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl (Carey Mulligan) in 1960s suburban London and how her life changes after meeting a man nearly twice her age (Peter Sarsgaard). While the entire cast was great, Carey Mulligan's performance was another level. Her work is exceptional and I believe she's a lock for getting nominated come awards season. Anyway, I recently say down with Dominic Cooper (he plays Peter Sarsgaard's best friend) and we talked about how his career has taken off, how does he decide to take a project, what has he been working on, and I even got in a "Mamma Mia 2" question. It's a great interview so take a look:

Finally, click here for a review of "An Education" and here's some clips from the film.
