Atonement…

This film is just sad and depressing. You want nothing to hope for the main characters, but then have those hopes ultimately smashed. You almost wish that this film were based on real people, because only real life could be so tragic. But it’s not. While all the technical details of this film are great, the acting, writing, etc…you still leave this film being dejected and disheartened. Skip it.
