Only the second time I've seen this but I enjoyed it just as much as I did previously, almost 16 years ago. Looking back, a star studded cast featuring the likes of Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan, Juno Temple, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Based on the novel of the same name, the film finds Briony (Ronan) who's infatuated with handyman and hired help Robbie Turner (McAvoy). However, Robbie only has eyes for Cecilia (Knightley) who is closer in age and a fellow classmate. Scorned and rebuffed, Briony accuses Robbie of raping her cousin Lola (Temple), which forever changes the course of all of their lives. I've never read the novel so I can't compare it to the film but the film is a solid work of art that I recommend if you've never seen it or haven't seen it in a while. 8/10
