DEEEPRESSING!! GEEZ!

I didn't know what to expect going into this movie. However, I can tell you that this movie is for a very specific type of person. It has forbidden romance, betrayal, and even war. But there was absolutely nothing to balance any of it. The movie's self pitying catalyst has no honor throughout the entirety of the movie and only steps up to the plate to reveal the truth to everyone when she finds out she is going to die herself. This of course is far after anyone that this would have effected has already passed. She admits during the interview of her book "atonement" (what this movie is about) that she fabricated the ending as a "gift" to her sister and her stolen love as it took her till now to actually reveal the truth. The movie left me feeling empty. I go to the movies to enjoy the art of cinema and the wonderful stories that are told. I also enjoy leaving a movie feeling both impressed with the work of the movie and at least some sense of happiness.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
