atonement excellent

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2007)

After being one of the privileged few that got to see the movie at its gala performance last night (23rd Aug) & being an extra. I can recommend going to see this film when its out on general release. Both Keira Knightley & James McEvoy seem to bring the film to life both playing excellent roles. Well directed by Joe Wright as would be expected. Although the local scenes (redcar) are only a few minutes it really brought out the spirit of Dunkirk. It takes some following but if you've read the book by Ian McEwan it makes it much easier to follow. The 3 Briony's all play wonderful parts & the difference between the 2 younger actresses is difficult to spot. Vanessa Redgrave as usual finishes off the film wonderfully with a twist which isn't expected unless you've read the book. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
