Movie Review
Saw this at the cinema over a month ago now, but the fact that the film has stayed with me this long is testament to it’s excellence. I never read the novel, and I only went to see this film as I reflect Knightley, McAvoy and Garai are some of Britains finest actors about at the moment. All three are very, very excellent (as well as the young Briony), but I thought McAvoy was outstanding. I loved every minute of this film, even the slower middle section. Please just see it! –By Padderz (London, UK)
