Atonement (2007)
description written by member Zara:
On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment's flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the son of a servant and Cecilia's childhood friend.

From the idyllic first scenes of what must have seemed a magical England to the blasted panoramas of war torn France the film is lovingly and painstakingly rendered.

I'll be the first to say it: I was NOT planning on seeing Atonement for one reason and one reason only: Keira Knightly. I just cannot stand her! From her voice, to her expressions, to her posture – I am not a fan. So, when my good friend Andrew invited me to go see Atonement with him, I was torn. Could a movie I am...

From the clicking of the typewriter to the sweeping landscapes captured by the formidable eye of Joe Wright, this movie is among my favorites of the year. Wright has followed his great adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' with this adaptation of the Ian McEwan novel.
This is the story of a great misunderstanding that...
