CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Melodrama

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2012)

Movie was good as a whole, though I fear Knightly only has one look to her. I cannot speak for the book that the movie was based off of but- it was super sad, and extremely depressing. If you read the plot summary on Wikipedia and you are a happy person- screw watching this. Basically everything that happens goes from bad to worse and ends with everyone's lives in shattered pieces and dead. Then, because she thinks it the only thing she can do to make things better, a very old Briony Tallis decides to write in her book what really should have happened so long ago, righting all of her wrongs and making apologies and happy endings. She still screwed her whole family and friends over. Gave it a 5 for all of the acting, but I would give the story a 1 being mega depressing and containing not one shred of hope.
