Atonement

Second film of the night, vibes took a drastic switch up, that ending was not okay. Read other reviews after, this might be unpopular but I thought Briony was also a victim, caught up in tragedy. The real villain isn’t a confused and lonely child, it’s Benedict Cumberbatch’s character. Yes she made a horrific mistake, but to forget the real villain and misplace blame and anger on a child I kind of feel is missing the whole point. Fundamentally, it was that man who ruined all of their lives and Briony had to spend the rest of her life trying to atone for his crime. Also Keira Knightley’s dress is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen.
