ATONEMENT (2007)

FILMS FROM THE 21st CENTURY
(Post 21 of 50)

Some quick takes on the most relatively recent listings from the
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list


Sometimes a lie can result in dire consequences that may take a lifetime for you to atone for. That's the moral I get out of Atonement, a  well-acted, touching (I don't use that word in this context often) and often emotional film set mostly during World War II. And watch for the beach scene, easily the most impressive single section of the movie.

  1. I liked this one--"touching" is a good word for it, and I don't use that word that often, either.
