Reviews:
”Altogether an excellent film- I can only hope that its British origins and late summer (traditionally blockbuster season) release date will not prejudice the Academy against it when it comes to next year's Oscars.” By James Hitchcock
”Overall Atonement is a perfect movie, in actual fact its a movie with pretty much no flaws whatsoever. Superb performances, beautiful direction, a script and storyline to die for. It is unlikely any film will top this for a very long time, this is something that will go down in cinema history as being a classic, and it highly deserves it inevitable status.” By Simon Parker
” A movie that shows how one misunderstanding that could stay with with one girl's life. Forever. It would be very hard for you to not reduce to tears from the emotional ending.” By Marisa_Gabriella
