THE GOOD FILMS on Instagram: "Atonement (2007), based on Ian McEwan’s novel, is a romantic war drama about love, guilt, and the consequences of a single lie. It begins in 1935 England, where 13-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment between her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the son of the family’s housekeeper. Misunderstanding what she sees — and driven by jealousy and childish imagination — Briony falsely accuses Robbie of a crime he didn’t commit.
