Atonement* (15)
Empire Bromley (photo)
An over-imaginative 13-year old witnesses her elder sister in an affair with the housekeeper's son, and wrongfully accuses him of much worse.
Pretentious romantic drama from the team that brought us the recent Pride and Prejudice, with much emphasis on the main stars' attractive features, and an almost laughable depiction of Dunkirk (taking place "four years" after 1935!) - a black soldier walks right across the battlefields, without any reference at all to his colour - but is this all in the "author"'s imagination? Generally rather too self-consciously stylized, but redeemed a little by the belated appearance of Vanessa Redgrave.
