Atonement is an adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel of the same name. Set before the outbreak of World War II, the story follows the blossoming love between Knightly and MacAvoy that is cut short by the jealous accusation of Knightly's younger sister. The following narrative of two star crossed lovers being separated by the war and their struggle to survive is sweetly told with heart breaking moments on both sides as the war takes its toll.

The characters are well thought out and acted well by... (read more)

Written on: 27/12/2007 by gabbyco

This is an excellent drama spanning a few decades and the consequence of jumping to conclusions and the damage this inflicts on a number of characters including the accuser who seeks to make her atonement towards the end of her life.

It's fab and it will thrill and move every inch of your emotions!

Thoroughly well made and a credit to the UK film industry (read more)
