When Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan), thirteen-years-old and an aspiring writer, sees her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy) at the fountain in front of the family estate, she misinterprets what is happening, thus setting into motion a series of misunderstandings and a childish pique that will have lasting repercussions for all of them. Robbie is the son of a family servant toward whom the family has always been kind. They paid for his time at Cambridge and now he plans on going to medical school. After the fountain incident, Briony reads a letter intended for Cecilia and concludes that Robbie is a deviant. When her cousin Lola (Juno Temple) is raped, she tells the Police that it was Robbie she saw committing the deed.
Leave your thoughts about Atonement.
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesAtonement is that rare combo: a good movie based on a good book. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAn unforgettable examination of a host of dark impulses. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's a stunner that does justice to a great book. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashIt's a romantic epic, set in the past, featuring some beautiful imagery, high drama and terrific performances from its small, all British cast. It's also (which isn't always a given when it comes to Best Picture contenders) a great movie. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenExcellent literary adaptation too mature for kids. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersMore, it is an instant classic, Wright's mind-blowing marvel a sensation I'm sure I'll euphorically enjoy over and over again. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's a stunner that does justice to a great book. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is one of the year's best films, a certain best picture nominee. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseAs close to perfection as mere mortals can aspire to. |
| New York PostLou LumenickWhat might seem like showing off in another movie is dazzling storytelling here, packing in an hour's worth of human misery. |
