Starring : Kiera Knightley
James Mc Avoy
Directed by: Joe Wright
Just when you thought Kiera Knightleys acting skills were limited to period dramas, she defies critics and goes and stars in another period drama.
The movie is set in upper-class England in the early 1930s; the movie is portrayed through the young, innocent and prying eyes of Briony Talls (Saoirse Ronan). When she catches her sister (Knightley) with the handsome gardner Robbie, played by James Mc Avoy she knowingly accuses him of rape. He is arrested, imprisoned and we later meet him 1o years later in France serving in World War II. The story jumps ahead creating a stark contrast between the young boy we first meet and the man he has become. Knightley has developed into a mature young nurse, a far cry from the daddy’s girl she was.
United for a brief second their undying love becomes clear and Briony becomes an object of mutual hate between Robbie and Cecilla and the viewer alike.
With a clever twist at the end the viewer is captivated until the first credits role. Wright has done Ian McEwan’s bestselling novel justice in every aspect. This film is a must see for any movie buff and a highlight of the spectacular cinema of 2007.
