Atonement

Just finished the movie. It was a very good movie indeed. It had its strong points and its weak points, definitely.

The plot was very well-constructed, especially the ending. I liked the ending very much. Most of the weakness came in the middle of the movie.

The score was very good, I liked the typewriter sounds throughout the movie, especially after how the movie is wrapped up, it brought a whole new meaning to the sounds.

Keira Knightley had a very strong performace, as did James McAvoy. Romola Garai had a very impressive performance as well, not what I expected from her, as I had never seen her before.

One of the weak points for me was that it tried too hard in creating twists and turns in the layout of the scenes, showing things, then going backwards. This was not a movie where there was any benefit in doing that. In some movies, that works very well, but in my opinion, not so much in this one.

Very good if you are in the mood for this kind of movie. 7/10.
