This weekend I watched Atonement with Nicole. Both of us didn't know what to expect, only that it was nominated for seven Academy Awards. The premise was very interesting and the film was excellent on all levels. I was amazed by the technical skill that went into everything. The cinematography, the acting, the score, all of it was spot on. I also enjoyed how the movie seamlessly moved from different time periods. 

I really disliked the younger sister and how she lied to everyone about what actually happened. Why did she do it? Jealousy? Her actions had consequences that ruined everyone's lives. She had to live with the guilt of tearing two people apart. I must say though, they casted really well. The actresses that played the girl as she got older looked like they could be the same person. If you haven't see this film, I don't think you would be disappointed.
