ATONEMENT
Based on the novel by Ian McEwan, Atonement opens in England in 1935, on the hottest day of the year. In the looming shadow of World War II, Briony Tallis and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous Victorian Gothic mansion.

As the family gathers for the weekend, the combination of the oppressive heat and long suppressed emotions coming to the surface create an ominous sense of threat and danger.

Briony, a fledgling writer, is a girl with a vivid imagination. Through a series of catastrophic misunderstandings she accuses Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the housekeepers son, and lover of her sister, Cecilia (Keira Knightley) of a crime he did not commit.

This accusation destroys Robbie and Cecilias new found love and dramatically alters the course of all their lives.

EVENING
As Ann Grant (Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave) nears the end of her life, she confesses to her daughters (Academy Award nominee Toni Collette and Tony Award-winner Natasha Richardson) the story of a weekend 50 years earlier when she met the one true love of her life. In those two days of passion, Ann (played as a young woman by Golden Globe-winner Claire Danes) learns that the choices we make often lead to unspeakable joys and even to unbearable tragedies, but always to the twists of fate that shape the story of our lives. As the daughters piece together this extraordinary story of their mothers past and present, it brings them all together in a way none of them could ever have imagined.

evening was in my opinion a good movie that I thought was well written with a well thought out story line and a believable plot.The level of acting in this movie was of a good standard with all lines delivered in a well timed manner and it was this and the story lines as well as the interesting characters which made this movie enjoyable to watch. If you enjoy a well made movie I think you will enjoy this movie and as such is recommended by me.
