Can't really say any more than the first two posts. This is a cinematic gem. It was one of those rare films that stays with you for days... even weeks after viewing. The tragedy of the story is all consuming. I'll admit my fanboy status for Miss Knightley readily, but I think this film proves that she is an actress... not simply a star. I was shocked she wasn't nominated, but then her screen time was a bit shorter than what might normally be required for a best actress nod. Besides, she would have lost (and rightly so) to Marion Cotillard anyway. James McAvoy was spectacular. Saoirse Ronan and Romola Garai were as well. Joe Wright has established himself as one of the finest directors working. The cinematography and score were brilliant.
