Wow! This is one of the bests films I've ever seen. The direction and photography are absolutely fantastics. This is pure poetry on screen. The story moves on and you want to see more and more. Just loved it! |

Not a movie I would normally watch, but I found it to be pretty good - especially the first half. Many of the characters feel average but the story and cinematography make up for other shortcomings. |

Only thing the movie had going for it was that it had great cinematography and I loved the music but I never got attached to any of the characters and was just left feeling bored |

Tears and War |

What makes this movie so brilliant is its unflinching ability to show what makes everyone uncomfortable. Not only does this movie have child molestation and the truly spiteful nature of little girls, but also the devestations of war and the disgusting nature of jealousy. What a wonderful picture. Highly recommended. |

Wishy-Washy...? |

It's strange.
The cinematography is stunning...there are several difficult or unique shots here, which make me want to give it more credit..and the love letter montage (with several attempts set to various songs) was gorgeous...but as far as the movie goes as a whole......."Eh"
Unlike a few people here on Filmcrave whose opinions I continuously respect, I DO find McAvoy to be pleasing onscreen...he has the mannerisms of a stage actor, and when he (really) shoots, he scores, so his presence here increases my overall opinion....but at the risk of sounding superficial, Knightly in a backless dress is never a good idea, and this was an image that was unnecessarily repeated.
There were weak points in the screenplay, I'm guessing the novel is the way to go - but visually, this is certa... |

Based on Ian McEwan?s award wining novel of the same name, Atonement tells the story of A British romance that spans several decades. Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit.
I?ve waited several months to see Joe Wright?s second feature film ?Atonement? and it did not disappoint. For an only second feature film by 35 old Joe Wright, it?s absolutely astonishing. Directed superbly on all levels. From the stunning Dunkirk visuals, to several Point of view shots empathising each character?s need and feelings at that point, you can?t help but feel intertwined in the story and with the characters. I haven?t seen such an epic of a film since The English Patient, I h... |
