    Love it, but confused.....

    Once I finished seeing the movie, I was crying with my teenage son, but I was kind of confused. I had to ask him what happened, because the flashbacks went back and forth. It was a-bit long and boring, but "hey, I still love it!"

    WOW

    This movie was a stunner. I've wanted to see it forever and am just now able to on HBO.

    It was just amazingly good. The acting was FLAWLESS....just amazing. I mean AMAZING. But this is not a movie for everyone. I'm pretty sure my husband would rather be strung up by his toenails then watch 5 minutes of it. But his fav movie is Die Hard...you know what I mean.

    This movie never drags... like some other reviews said. It just changes pace to go along with the story, and I was hooked from the get-go. If you like period movies with exceptional acting that make you think and feel...this is for you.

    Well acted and ohhhhh sooooooo tragic.

    I read the book first. The book was absolutely faithful to the book.
    Such a tragedy.....See it for the acting.....but don't rent it on a dark rainy day. You'll want sunshine and green grass and a breeze after this one.....

    An Impeccable Love Story

    An impeccable, dramatic adaptation of Ian McEwan`s bestseller. I read the novel before seeing it, and was impressed. Keira Knightley (Cecilia) is one of the greatest british actors of her time. And James McAvoy played the role of Robbie Turner wonderfully. The visuals were incredible, and deserving of the awards it got. For those of you that have not read the book, please do, because the emotional depth is invigorating. As most dramas, Atonement digs into the characters lives, explaining things that one may or may not need to know...PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
