Atonement Ratings & Reviews
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
Atonement is a film out of balance, nimble enough in its first half but oddly scattered and ungainly once it leaves the grounds of the Tallis estate.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
[U]ltimately, the movie amounts to rolling lawns, lovely costumes, and characters that simply fail to resonate.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Sweeping, showy, and stiff, Joe Wright's adaptation of Ian McEwan's pedigreed bestseller traffics in florid staging and callow emotions.
Newsday
Kenneth Turan
One of the few adaptations that gives a novel the film it deserves.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is a film that might have contained itself better, but it still stings with bitter truth.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Imagination typically should be encouraged in children, but an excess of it leads to tragedy in this more than worthy adaptation of Ian McEwan's 2002 novel.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
In its first 45 minutes, Atonement achieves a kind of perfection rare even for big Oscar-bait movies. Every facet of the filmmaking is the equal of any picture released this year. The rest of the movie isn't so bad.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Atonement is perfect.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Atonement has hints of greatness but I think it falls just short of Oscar contention.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A lushly shot, proficiently performed, and largely stultifying period piece that invites only mild, detached admiration.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
It ranks with the best novel adaptations of recent times.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
As good a film as one could imagine having been made from a great work of contemporary fiction.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
On paper and on screen, Atonement is a story of rare beauty, both wrenching and wise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Atonement takes a familiar movie environment, a setting that we think we know, and uses it for an examination of a host of dark impulses, such as jealousy, lust, cruelty and deceit.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Director Joe Wright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton not only blow the Merchant-Ivory dust off the British period movie, they transform Ian McEwan's interior novel into a sweeping epic that speaks to the 21st-century soul.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
It is an amazing story, filled with quiet moments of profundity and more surprises than you could imagine.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Christopher Hampton's screenplay respects the literary focus of Ian McEwan's novel without falling into the trap of becoming uncinematic.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
These performers not only have the looks for a sweeping love story, they also have the skill to throw themselves into the proceedings like they really mean it.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
It is mindful art doubling as unapologetic entertainment, an ode to eros and errors assembled with vision and meticulous care.
