Customer Rating:

Summary: There's an easier way to atone
Comment: Very well made but typically depressing war time period drama set around the central and unlikely
conceit that a good work of fiction heals better than honesty.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Should have stuck to the book
Comment: Can't understand why they didn't stick to the book after the intial 1935 part of the film. The final
parts of the film are significantly different to the book especially the ending which has nothing to
do with the TV interview nonsense used in the film. A good film but could have been infinitely
better if it had stuck to the book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A good period film
Comment: I'm not the biggest fan of Keira Knightly but I really enjoyed her performance in this film and
paired with McAvoy she shines.
It is well shot, it holds your attention throughout the
unfolding story of two lovers.
A great film, but the ending was perhaps a little abrupt for
my taste.
Any Keira Knightly fan will love this and I recommend it to anyone who likes other
period pieces such as Pride and Prejudice.

Summary: read the book
Comment: if you want to get the best from atonement, please read the book first.the book was one of the best
works of fiction i have read.the film version is not one of the best films i have seen.it is not a
bad film,but it does not do justice to the book. someone wrote that nothing happened for great
quantities of the film and they are right. two thirds of the book deal with the build up to the
crime and i am afraid this doesnt make for good viewing and in my view the build up to the arrest in
the film was a bit rushed.i dont think the acting was particularly good. kiera knightley is not a
good actress.it is beyond me why she is in continuous employment.

Summary: Brilliant!!
Comment: I beg to differ with most of the reviews below. I have not read the book and didn't know the story.
I found the film captivating, moving and not at all slow. I think James McAvoy and Keira Knightly
were excellent. The way the story went backwards and forwards in time was very clever. I was not
expecting the ending and found the story very understandable.
