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.
