Atonement
horizontal line

A guilt-ridden British writer (Vanessa Redgrave) reminisces about her childhood growing up in a privileged, aristocratic household with her free-spirited, older sister (Keira Knightley) in England and serving as a nurse (Romola Garai) during WWII in this beautifully photographed, well-acted, 123-minute, 2007 film based on the Ian McEwan novel, and throughout her life she tries to atone for a devastating lie she told as a jealous teenage girl (Saoirse Ronan) when she falsely accused the lovestruck son (James McAvoy) of a household servant (Brenda Blethyn) of raping her redheaded cousin (Juno Temple) in 1935, which ultimately seals the fate of the lives involved when the war begins.
