Atonement Posted on 19 October 2014 at 02:54 I usually don't like watching novels turned into movies..Not even Hunger Games or Twilight series for that matter but this was a really pleasant surprise. The plot is extraordinarily well adapted, leaving out what cannot possibly be included in a two-hour film, changing very few details to translate literary language to cinematographic language but sticking to the essence and the spirit of the novel. I really believe that if you enjoyed McEwan's novel, you will fall for this beautiful film. If you have never read McEwan, you will fall for the intriguing and thrilling story written by this wonderful English novelist. Keira Knightley once again showed her acting chops..silent but effective in conveying the right emotions required of her while James McAvoy was excellent and this by far was his performance of a career..This is a spectacular period drama Please, don't miss this one!
