Atonement starts off as an average period piece drama, with the well to do Tallis family living the highlife despite the looming spectre of a war with Germany. Thrown in the mix is garden hand and semi adopted son, Robbie, who incidently, is in love with the eldest Tallis daughter, Cecilia.Trouble is, the younger Tallis daughter, Briony, has a childish crush on Robbie, and doesn’t understand why her older sister should be the one to receive his love.
To get revenge on Robbie for loving her sister she blames a heinous crime on him, not realising what the outcome would be, and the budding relations ship between Robbie and Cecilia is brought to a grinding halt as Robbie is taken away and put in prison. [more]

I probably won't go see this, because I was very frustrated with the book. Briony annoyed me because of the wrong she'd done, and then I got annoyed all over again when, by the end, no satisfactory resolution was in sight. I know that this is probably meant asa reflection of real life, but knowing this didn't help.
