A review by acrone
Atonement by Ian McEwan

challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It took a while to settle into this one. The blend from contemplation to action at times made it more and less immersive an experience. Knowing the ending going in certainly heightened the feeling of impending doom that McEwan built. 
Frankly I’m impressed with how faithful the movie adaptation is.
