My Rating : 9/10
'Atonement' reminds me of The Notebook(2004), The Reader(2008) and to some extent Phantom Thread(2017). It's a romance-drama and a deep one at that - perhaps a twisted case of unrequited love?
The visual style is spell-binding and apparently Christian Dior stockings were stretched over the camera lens to achieve a soft focus in some aspects. The five-minute Dunkirk beach scene is a gorgeous rendition and must-see.
The performances are on-point, a cinephile will appreciate all of the tiny details.
Worth the time.
