This movie left me confused and dehydrated!!

I felt their love through the screen! Thank you for this incredible movie!

well, i have never read the book, but i have watched the movie like 6 times. the first time was confusing because it was like 3 in the morning so yea. i thought it defenetly didn't meet expectations that i had hoped. now the next day i watched alone during the day and i have to tell you it is probably in my top 5 favorite movies. i mean jesus when your done watching and recollect your thoughts for a second and realize that this movie took such an emotional toll on me that i was left speechless the rest of the day. i mean i have never had an experience like that before after watching a movie. i watched it on monday and it is now thursday and i cannot get over the movie. i finally realize that this movie was defenetly robbed o the acadamy award for best picture. people are always telling me about the crazy ending in No Country for Old Men, an i defenetly think that if you have any emotiions what so ever and watched this movie the whole length you will feel more emotionally drained than after watching anything else.

This movie is about perspective as well. Never assume yours is always correct.

Absolutely Brilliant!

i loved the movie. it reminds us how small things like a lie can make a big impact on everyone's lives.

ATONEMENT MADE ME CRY THAT'S THE KIND OF LOVE NEEDED

My two most favorite artists on earth. Keira who I worship and James who has broken every piece of my heart since I laid eyes on him in Starter For 10. I'm an avid fan of both and was completly blown away by the emotional roller coaster

Captivating,demands your attention from beginning to the end.
