Atonement

Some good shots. Great score with a typewriter as the featured instument. Briony (all ages) was fantastic. The love story was thoroughly unconvincing, hindered further by subpar acting. The fountain and library scenes were introduced and played out intelligently and Briony-ly. But above all, the Dunkirk continuous panning scene/shot was great - I'd have to say, the movie's saving grace.

A defining dash of dialogue:

"I'm sorry, you weren't meant to see that. It was the wrong version."
"What was in the right one?"
"It was more formal... Less..."
"Anatomical?"
