Atonement is a bizzare classic!A fairly well paced movie that unravels slowly to expose the trajectory of a young girl's coming of age, fancy and the atonement that the various characters in the movie had to endure to the end of their lives. One bad mistake and everyone has to take the rap.
The movie is visited by cold beautiful images, powerful rushes, abrupt stops and flashbacks. For those who love period dramas during the war years, this is one great movie though it trudges too slow sometimes, particularly during the Dunkirk portion of the movie.
Kiera and James McAvoy put on a good show but the show was mostly stolen to Saoirse Ronan as the self-serving Briony and her fertile mind gone wild.
