Excellent

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2014)

A stunning bitter sweet period piece, based on the critically acclaimed novel by Ian McEwan. This movie is a powerful and dramatic love story of a tragic, blistering romance. When 13-year-old Briony Tallis, played by Saoirse Ronan, witnesses a sexual encounter between her older sister and a servant's son, her confusion prompts her to blame the young man for a violent crime. Her half-truth changes their lives forever.
I love James McAvoy and this is a really great job by a young Saoirse Ronan as Briony. Great casting of all three actresses who played Briony. You really believe these actresses are one in this character. I couldn't help but sympathize with Briony because she was unable to make peace with her sister. I loved the way the film went back and forth to show you the lie and the truth. I wouldn't mind seeing this movie again.
