Atonement (2007)



Never before have I seen such brilliant cinematography! The picturization and natural visual effects are worthy of the best awards. Seamus McGarvey deserves special mention for his work. Rather unfortunate that he couldn't convert his oscar nomination to a victory.

Based on the bestseller from Ian McEwan (won the Man Booker prize in 1998 for Amsterdam, by the same name, Atonement is a tale of 2 sisters. Wouldn't like to delve into the plot, but suffice to say that there's a lot of emotion to deal with.

The film tends to drag in some sequences where there is a lot of stress on picturization.

Concept 7/10
Performance 7/10
Screenplay 7/10
Technical 9/10

Overall 7.5/10
