Atonement Movie Review - The Bliss Of Love

Atonement follows the lives of two people in love who get separated due to the misinterpretation of a third person. Boasting of love and affection, Atonement is a movie which deserves to be watched for its sheer brilliance in filmmaking and its raw depiction of love. 



Cast - James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Saoirse Ronan, Romola Garai, Vanessa Redgrave, Benedict Cumberbatch

Directed By - Joe Wright

Genre - Romance, Drama, War

Atonement is the story of Robbie (James McAvoy) who gets falsely accused of a crime by Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) after she finds him and her sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) in a compromising position. What she sees is a pure expression of love but she misinterprets it as something else, and it leads to dire consequences for which everyone pays.

Words cannot even begin to describe this beauty of a work which leaves you baffled in awe and amazement. With Atonement, Joe Wright makes a film which will touch your heart and make your eyes misty with tears. The deep affection and love that went into making this film can be compared with the bond between our main characters of this movie. Every story has two sides to it, and Atonement shows both the sides of the same story with different perspectives. It first shows you an event through the eyes of one person and then cuts back to show the same thing through a different character. It is all about perception and misinterpretation and how your one decision or accusation, in this case, can affect the life of a person including yourself. This movie also portrays the horror of war and how it injures a soldier both physically and mentally. A scene involving the 18-year-old Briony Tallis (Romola Garai) and a wounded soldier at St Thomas Hospital where Briony starts working as a nurse is so emotional and heart wrenching that you will definitely get a goosebump, good luck holding back your tear. The transition from the house in England to the beaches of Dunkirk is seamless and effortless. Featuring some stunning cinematography from Seamus McGarvey and background score by Dario Marianelli, it makes sure you don't take your eyes off from it even for a second. It's beautifully captured and expressed to the audience. From the sounds of leaves rustling on a tree to the slight movement of water are all captured in the film and helps in providing depth to it. The clicking sound of the keys is effectively used as a background score which elevates tension inside the audience with respect to the rise in music. 

Atonement has some of the best actors working in it who sway you with there top-notch performance. Before being popularly known as Charles Xavier from the X-Men Universe, James McAvoy had given some fantastic performance and Atonement is one such film where he delivers flawlessly. Keira Knightley is another major highlight here who wears up her character and gets under the skin of it. Her accent in the movie is perfect, and even the great critic Roger Ebert had good things to say about it. But the gem here is none other than Saoirse Ronan who is so phenomenal and terrific that she moves you with her performance. I loved Saoirse Ronan in Lady Bird, and she won my heart again in this movie. I very much want to see her in other films in the future. She is destined to become a big star and will reach greater heights in her acting career. I have always admired Benedict Cumberbatch, and here also he delivers an overwhelming performance despite his shorter screen time.

Love is pure and blissful and is a beautiful bond between two peoples which can only be understood by someone who has been in love. Someone from outside cannot comprehend it and thus, should not meddle with it. For the love of romance and the genre itself, Atonement deserves a watch for its beautiful portrayal of romance and a brilliant filmmaking technique.
