Review of Atonement (2007) by Augusta M — 27 Apr 2012
This is such a sweet and enduring film. Looking at the flashbacks, we can look at different points of view, and gain a real understanding of each person's emotions. What we find out is not how we thought it would be - never at any moment can you assume that this beautiful British drama could be schmaltzy or predictable.
Each character has a significant impact on the film itself, reminding us of childhood innocence and lack of hindsight of consequences of our actions. It never really went downhill - something that romances often do - but this stayed strong and kept up the spirit until the end, which should be one of the prized endings in romance films.
