Description
In 1935, beautiful young Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and her 13-year-old sister Briony (Saoirse Ronan) live a life of wealth and privilege. Robbie (James McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Cecilia and hopes it will only take one spark for their relationship to combust. When it does, Briony -who has a crush on Robbie - is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. With Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Over the course of several decades, Briony finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love. Screenplay by Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons), based on the bestselling novel by Ian McEwan. Directed by Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice). Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Ronan).
