Although the story is actually quite good, I would never watch it again, especially if I was in a happy place as you are certainly left feeling like you want to give up the will to live, WHY so many Awards!!! I've seen so many other films that warrant recognition and would be much more deserving!

I am awaiting the release of the DVD of 'Atonement' and would like to say that, Keira Knightley is a great actress,(Regardless of what other people may have to say!), along with James McAvoy.

Is it me or does anyone else believe that Miss Knightley,(as described by another person as a 'Lantern straved victim' how bizarre...why...?).

I know that many people enjoyed the film/book and let's face it it was the No.1 film for a considersable amount of time last Summer....for anyone who hasn't heard of this film or book and regardless what 'others' may think...GO WATCH, READ & ENJOY.....! SUPERB quality in many ways

First of all a word of thanks for Play.com. Wonderful service. Even though I ordered the wrong disc (HD-DVD) and it would not play, they changed it without question,and even apologised! I've got a HDMI tv,a HDMI DVD recorder and a HDMI cable to connect the two and I thought it would play HD-DVD discs. No chance. However to the film. Is it me? I found it boring depressing and disjointed. going backwards and forwards in time I found it hard to know what was going on. Not helped by the almost inaudible dialogue and the actors speaking too quickly, and the music drowning out the speaking. Except for the swearing of course which was very clear.
