Atonement
Moms View Message Board: Books, Movies and TV Shows: Atonement
Has anyone else seen this? I went with a co-worker last week. We both wanted to see it, and agreed that the 'guys' in our families would consider it a "chic flick". We thought it was really good with a surprise ending. However, the back and forth time sequences were confusing for us. As anybody else seen it? What did you think?
Dying to see it. Was it worth it or is it one of those you rent and watch while folding the never ending mountain of laundry?
Theresa - It is kind of an "art" film. At the beginning, I thought that it was really draggy, and like I said, the back and forth sequences drove me crazy. However, as I got into it, I started to enjoy it. It had a surprise ending. My friend that went with me said that she'd like to see it again, to see things she might have missed the first time around. I suppose you could wait until it comes out on video, but you really have to WATCH it, so you wouldn't want to be folding laundry (or doing anything else) when you watch it.
