Historical drama - Atonement review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
04/12/2007

Keira Knightley's society girl falls in love with James McAvoy's intelligent, but working class, character. They have a very brief affair before younger sister, Briony, makes up all sorts of stories about him. The plot continues into the second world war and is quite moving but also brutal at times. The denouement, with Vanessa Redgrave playing an elderly Briony, is absolutely stunning.

Some of the UK's finest on top form - Atonement review by Kurtz

Spoiler Alert
19/05/2009

A faithful and visually stunning adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel, featuring great performances by the two leads and a healthy dose of unreliable post-modern storytelling. It’s always watchable and beautifully acted right down the cast list, but its fractured narrative doesn’t always hang together- the Dunkirk sequence is mind-boggling, for example, but it doesn’t move the story on at all, and the terrible injustice meted out to McAvoy’s Robbie is really just a standard “toffs v.plebs” episode, with Benedict Cumberbatch literally twirling his moustache as the posh villain in the background. Minor gripes, though, because "Atonement" is a richly entertaining movie with a powerful emotional punch.

3 Outstanding Female Performances - Atonement review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
24/11/2009

A young teenage girl misunderstands things and only years later she finally understands what her doing has caused. Briony is played by 3 actresses and what performances - worth watching just for this reason.
