Atonement

Personalities: James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, and Saoirse Ronan.

This is one of my favourite films- the plot, characters, tension, soundtrack, settings, costumes..everything about it.

It truly is a beautiful film.

The novel (by Ian McEwan) is still sitting on my shelf unread but I can't wait to begin reading it.

Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. Based on the British romance novel by Ian McEwan.

Let's make it legal

This film is forgettable but definitely worth a look for the lovely dresses alone.
