I usually don’t like watching novels turned into movies (specially when I liked the novel as much as I liked McEwan’s “Atonement”) but this was a really pleasant surprise. The plot is extraordinarily well adapted, leaving out what cannot possibly be included in a two-hour film, changing very few details to translate literary language to cinematographic language but sticking to the essence and the spirit of the novel.
I really believe that if you enjoyed McEwan’s novel, you will fall for this beautiful film. If you have never read McEwan, you will fall for the intriguing and thrilling story written by this wonderful English novelist.
Please, don’t miss this one!
