| Posted by: corran horn at February 22, 2008, 5:32 pm | | Topic: Atonement Forum: JoBlo | | When I went to see ATONEMENT a few weeks ago, I went in with mixed feelings. I liked James McAvoy and wanted to see Saoirse (someone please help me pronounce this!) Ronan before she appears in LOVELY BONES. However, all the promo hype about romance made me skittish, and a strident fan on the AwardsDaily blog was really getting on my nerves. I should have known better... First off, McAvoy is just phenominal in this. I found his character easy to sympathize with and a wonderful one to watch. His part of the story I enjoyed most. Ronan was also very impressive, and I can see why Peter Jackson chose her for LB. The only real disappointment was Romola Garai. She just felt flat to me, lacking Ronan's sliminess and Redgrave's wistfulness. The cinematography was first rate, ESPECIALLY the tracking shot, and the production value captured the period perfectly. Judging from this, I think it's safe to say that Joe Wright is quickly becoming one of Britain's most talented young directors, and I eagerly await THE SOLOIST at the end of this year. 9/10 |
