Extras:

Shot on location in the U.K., the film's story spans several decades. In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony ' who has a crush on Robbie ' is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested ' and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.

I love this movie with a passion.
I'd say it's one of the most amazing movies I have seen.
It changed the way I saw a lot of things,
And it has an ending I'll never forget.

The pictures and settings are beautiful.
You really have to see it. :)

Sad to say, we didn't think it was worthy of a Golden Globe Best Picture. It's a lovely movie with very colorful characters. But it wasn't able to hold my attention for the full length of the movie. Maybe if I were in a movie house held captive by my $10 ticket to watch it for 2 hours or so, I would be able to appreciate the movie more. But at home with a lot of distractions, the movie just...

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
