love in WWII

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2008)

If you like period drama then i highly recommend Atonement. Even if you hate Keira Knightley! She stars as Cecilia who after a serious misunderstanding is separated from her lover Robbie played by James McAvoy.
OK i'll admit i saw this at the cinema and it felt like it lasted about 6 hours when it was only like 2! but all i can say is stick with it! it may be slow moving but what happens is well scripted, well acted and generally well executed. Keira Knightley has a knack for this kind of period drama, and suits the style. James McAvoy is interesting to watch-although i don t find him attractive!
If you've read the book then you really won't be disappointed, don't bother if your a fan of fast paced action, this would be in danger of sending you to sleep!
