After watching Atonement I was emotionally drained and I think that is exactly what the film wanted you to feel. Watching the romance and tragedy unfold was so beautiful... Full Review

There are many aspects of "Atonement" that I found disappointing. Going in, I thought the film was going to be a glossy, but predictable story. I figured it was boy and... Full Review

I like sweeping romatic movies- but this was just flat and pathetic. The movie begins reasonably, though the character of the younger sister is ridiculous- she presents a... Full Review

I just got back from Atonement, saw it in the worst artsy theater imaginable because no one else is showing it. At any rate, I wanted to love, LOVE, love this movie and I... Full Review
