Perfection. Beautiful, powerful and captivating. So impressed with its truthfulness to the book - it lived up to all of my expectations. Keira Knightley is really good as Cecilia and James Mcavoy, Romola Garai and young Briony are all wonderful. But it is the directing that really sets this movie above the others. The feelings of the characters are so well captured through the use of beautiful camera work enhanced further by the clever soundtrack - loved the incorporation of the typewriter. Overall a really entertaining, tragic and beautiful movie. Wont disappoint anyone who enjoyed the book

The best movie of 2007. The characters were so believable, the story was entertaining and the camera work enhanced the general dramatics and startling suspense of the movie, so the overall experience was thoroughly engaging. An awesomely brilliant suspense drama.
