Editorial Reviews

A mischievous girl accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit, only to find that her words have irrevocably and permanently changed the lives of all involved in Atonement, a film that re-teams the filmmakers behind Pride & Prejudice in adapting the best-selling 2002 novel by author Ian McEwan. The year is 1935, and as the summer heat takes hold, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis watches her older sister, Cecilia (Keira Knightley), get undressed and go frolicking in the garden fountain on her family's country estate. The housekeeper's son, Robbie (James McAvoy), a childhood friend and recent Cambridge graduate, also witnesses the innocent act. When Robbie and Cecilia subsequently cross a particularly sensitive boundary and the scheming Briony accuses Robbie of an unspeakable transgression for which the boy is wholly innocent, the repercussions of her unfounded claim threaten to affect all three for decades to come.

Absolutely Stunning!by Eria

February 27, 2009: I was completely floored when I saw the movie. It pulls at your heart-strings. You fall in love with the characters and grow a hatred towards others. You sense their love, their pain, their frustration-- very compelling, wonderful demonstration of the human condition!

I Also Recommend: Little Children.

Visually appealing.by BelindaThaxter

February 21, 2009: Adapted from the novel, ATONEMENT is personal drama set against an epic backdrop, with some beautiful cinematography, and a moving score.

Christopher Hampton, the screenwriter, has written a vast and emotionally complex tale about a 13 year-old girl, in the 1930s, who affects several lives when she misreads the relationship between her sister and the housekeeper's son. Later, she attempts to atone for her mistake.

Director Joe Wright expands on it with a his cinematic vision.

Very nice performances by Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Romola Garai, Brenda Blethyn, Saoirse Ronan and Benedict Cumberbatch. And an exceptionally powerful performance by Vanessa Redgrave.

Recommended.
