Atonement Review

Overall Rating

I've had Atonement on DVD for a while now, and finally got round to watching it. I was a bit sceptical at first as this isn't typical my kind of film, but I stuck it on anyway.

I have to say I'm glad i did. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. To be honest i had no idea what it was about, and if i had read the back of the DVD box first i would have probably not bothered.

The actors were fantastic telling a story of forbidden love and false accusations that spanned many years. The scenes were brilliantly filmed, especially the mammoth beach scene showing the WW2 survivors.

There is a little twist towards the end which makes you go "ohhhh". I'd really recommend watching this movie, especially on a cold Sunday afternoon, straight after a nice roast dinner!
