Nothing comes easily in Atonement, especially its ending, which, both happy and tragic, is as wrenching as it is genuinely satisfying. How fitting, somehow, that a novel so devoted to the precision and passionate love of language be captured in a film that is simply too exquisite for words.A singular achievement - romantic, sensuous, intelligent and finally shattering in its sweep and thematic complexity.
Atonement is that rare combo: a good movie based on a good book.
This is one of the few adaptations that gives a splendid novel the film it deserves.
The interpretation is so painstaking and moving that almost every moment delivers a shuddering jolt to the head and the heart.
It is an amazing story, filled with quiet moments of profundity and more surprises than you could imagine.
