To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to watching this. I’m not very good with period drama’s so I doubted that I’d like this. I anticipated a long and dull story. Instead, I got sucked in quite quickly. The story is very mesmerizing and it held me in its grasp until the very end. It’s a bittersweet story about love, sisterhood and, you might have guessed it, atonement.
The casting is brilliant. Keira Knightley does a good job, but there’s something enchanting about James McAvoy. I love watching him act. No matter what role he plays, he’s always charming and quite simply, brilliant. Saoirse Ronan (Briony aged 13) also grabs your attention. Her appearance is striking, with her fair hair and steel blue eyes, but the way she demands your attention by her acting is superb!
I’d recommend this movie. It’s not for everyone but it’s important to keep an open mind. If you do, you will get rewarded.

This is such an amazing movie, i almost started crying and believe my I'm not someone who cries really quick with movies.

Contains one of the best tracking shots you'll ever see. The Dunkirk scene is just unforgettable in its extravagance.
