Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2012)

The movie is set in England around the time of world war. Briony tallis is a teenage girl of 13 who misunderstands the situation between her elder sister Cecilia and the son of her servant Robbie turner. She sees both of them standing before a fountain in the lawn where Cecilia strips her skirt before Robbie. After this the young girl becomes suspicious of Robbie's behavior. She concludes in her mind that Robbie is a sex maniac when she finds a letter typed by Robbie for Cecilia using sarcastic words. Following a sequence of events, Briony finally succumbs to her suspicions and wrongly accuses Robbie for assaulting her cousin Lola. Thus he gets jailed and Cecilia and her lover separate. These scenes are very well shot. First the director shoots the scenes according to Briony's perspective. Then he shows the real chain of events. For example, first he shows the scene where Briony watches her sister stripping before Robbie in the park. With it she becomes frightened and gets down. Now the real scenes are shown from the viewer's perspective.
