This movie is everything from scandalist to romantic
It is amazing and gripping
It is not like all those other romance movies that all end with a happy sappy lovey dovey ending

kiera knightly is a amazing actress
and James could woo any women lol
was serious a master piece.

I loved It

Já a tempos estava para ver este filme, mas o universo conpirava contra. Fiquei com tanta expectativa que quando aluguei tive medo. Medo de me descepcionar. Quase sempre tenho problemas com filmes que aguardo muito. Felizmente, isso não aconteceu desta vez com "Desejo e Reparação". O novo filme do diretor Joe Wright ("Orgulho e Preconceito") é surpreendente. Um filme completo. Trilha sonora, fotografia, figurino, roteiro... Não há do que reclamar deste que é, de longe, o melhor filme de Wright. O longa narra a história de um casal que é separado devido a uma mentira: Briony, então aos 13 anos, usa sua imaginação de escritora principiante para acusar Robbie Turner, o filho do caseiro e amante da sua irmã mais velha Cecília, de um crime que ele não cometeu. A acusação na...Read more

Robbie Turner: [voiceover] Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame. James Mcavoy: Robbie Turner Keira Knightley: Cecilia Tallis Saoirse Ronan: Briony Tallis(aged 13) Romola Garai: Briony(aged 18) Vanessa Redgrave: Older Briony 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 English novel by Ian McEwa...Read more

I need to start this off by saying I'm a fan of both Keira Knightley and James McAvoy. If anyone else had been given those roles, I likely wouldn't have even watched. And to be honest, I'm glad I did, but I don't think it's any great masterwork, either. Overall, it has two serious flaws, and that makes it a less than memorable story. The setting has been done many times, though the story is something slightly different from the norm. Especially the fact that it's an English telling of World War II, rather than an American one. The flaws are simple, basic storytelling flaws, unfortunately. The first is that the flow is erratic and choppy. Sometimes jumping forward in huge jumps, other times falling back in time to see a scene from another angle. I understand why it was done...Read more

Atonement é um filme que nos fala da importância da redenção, do fazer o que é certo e justo na hora certa, ou do arrependimento que pode durar uma vida decorrente do não cumprimento das ações corretas.
É um filme completíssimo, riquíssimo em ações, imagens, palavras e com um enquadramento histórico muito bem conseguido e enriquecedor.



Esta história começa no decorrer da década de 30 e é brilhantemente levado à atualidade na última cena do filme, dando uma noção de continuidade, de evolução na história.

As memórias nunca se apagam...

The novel is good, the story etc, but this movie is extremely slow and boring to watch. Too many unnecessary scenes, long takes, very boring and slow.

Anyway, some people enjoy it, but I couldn't watch it again.

"So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion... but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness." It is indeed an extremely rare event that a masterpiece like Atonement comes along. After a tedious wave of mediocre films and straightforward blockbusters throughout the year, Atonement is an extremely good and effective war drama that ended up being one of the finest films of 2007. I had wanted to see this production because of the critical acclaim it received and its successful trip to the Golden Globes (during which it walked away with Best Motion Picture for Drama; beating other films like No Country for Old Men that were heavily favoured). After seeing the trailer only minor interes...Read more

The story is a romantic emotional one, taking place during the 1930s.

The film director has played the emotional card rather well, and I must say the sets, the decors and costumes are marvelous.

The actors were well cast, and is especially obvious through Briony.

I say "almost perfect" because Keira Knightley just doesn't appear to act properly for the time period. All other actors are quite decent, and seem well directed. But Keira...

Superb cinematography. The images are quite stunning.

Clearly one of the best of 2007.

Atonement is sensitive emotional.
it is about a lie that wreaks havoc on several lives and about the lier's penance. it is also about love, war, class, imagination and what not.
amazing, poignant.

I broke my 10-year stint of not going to the movies with this film. I am glad I did. The movie was beautiful, and it really affected me--I've been thinking about it for days. It's obvious from the title that it is about atonement, but it is also a romance. There is also much more to it than that, but I don't want to say what; it would give away the whole secret of the movie. I think this movie is a definite must-see.

Beautiful, memorable, unique, emotional and.. a masterpiece. I have never read the book so I can't compare it to the novel, I think that anyone who has read it would be satisfied with this. It's definitely one of the best movies of 2007, If it doesn't at least get nominated for an Oscar then there's something seriously wrong. It was nice for Joe Wright and Keira Knightey to get back together in this film after 'Pride and Prejudice'. He is an amazing director and teamed together with some great actors it can't go wrong. I won't go into the plot in depth, it's hard to describe in words it's unique story, it's certainly like no other movie I have seen before. A series of events occur all because of an incident that happens at the beginning of the movie, when a young girl wrongly accuses a ...Read more
