Atonement
Based on Ian McEwan's popular novel, the romantic drama follows Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan), a precocious preteen from an upper-class English family and fledgling writer with a great power of imagination. She knows about the mutual love between her elder sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and housekeeper's son Robby Turner (James McEvoy) and feels hurt as she has a fancy for Robbie too. So, when her 15-year-old cousin Lola Quincey (Juno Temple) becomes the victim of a rape, a string of misinterpretations, fueled by her vivid imagination and her jealousy, drives her to finger Robby as a rapist. He is arrested and sent to jail but Cecillia strongly refuses to believe her sister and becomes hostile towards her. Many years later, Briony (Romola Garai) writes a novel to expiate her guilt for her childish misdeed that irreversibly changed the course of all their lives.
