8 foreign reviews of Atonement (2007)

  • 1. Svenska Dagbladet
    6 / 6

    Translated from swedish: A fantastic book has become an equally fantastic film. The tone, the ambiguity, and the tragedy - everything is there, transferred into a visual magic rarely seen.

  • 2. Aftonbladet
    5 / 5

    Translated from swedish: "Atonement" thrives on its powerful content, on captivating imagery, on excellent actors who bring compelling destinies to life. Love, guilt, class struggle and longing. Painfully beautiful.

  • 5. Nöjesguiden
    5 / 6

    Translated from swedish: "Atonement" is painfully beautiful, and Wright carefully alternates between softly saturated thirties glamour and sharply gray-brown-green war. The slowly assembled portrayal of despair and shattered dreams has its ups and downs, but the whole is complex and artful.

  • 7. Corren
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Honestly, I don't know if it's due to brilliantly calculated dramaturgy or a successful combination of book and film experience. But I still remember it. I can still feel it. And with each re-experience, it feels as though the film, the book, and the story continue to grow.

  • 8. Expressen
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The love story is saved from becoming saccharine by Briony's perspective: on herself, the story, her deed, her authorship. But here we also find fantastic dialogue, superb screenplay, an unexpectedly powerful war scene, brilliant actors and the definitive breakthrough for Joe McAvoy – no wonder "Atonement" leads the nominations going into this weekend's Golden Globe ceremony.
