Review of Atonement (2007) by X X — 22 Feb 2012
This is a showcase for old-fashioned storytelling at its finest, classic yet fresh, dressed with modern film's polish and depth. It is a transporting experience with gorgeous art direction and engrossing cinematography, the best-looking film of 2007.
The performances are solid and the musical score is perfectly flighty, clever, and sweeping in turns. It is based on a morality tale by novelist Ian McEwan, and though its finer points never quite coalesce in the end, its craft is stunning.
