I am 16 and I usually don't go for film soundtracks. However, after seeing the film I decided that I should get it, and I was glad I did. The music is astounding, and Marianelli's use of the typewriter in songs such as "Briony" and "With My Own Eyes" creates an atmospheric piece of music. Other songs such as "Farewell", "Denouement" and "The Cottage on the Beach" moved me deeply. The track that most stood out was "Elegy for Dunkirk". The use of violins here was simply beautiful. All in all, this is a romantic soundtrack, with an edgy feel to it. Hope this has helped! :)
spent the first 30 minutes wondering when the story would start, it's quite a slow build up. That said, wonderfully filmed, very atmospheric and not un-enjoyable to that point. From there on it got better and better. Briony is the kind of little sister that everyone must dread and some of the scenes were so well studied that they made me cringe in sympathy with the actors. The twist in the tail was worth the wait, and I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Having seen the film I now feel the need to read the book! I would also like to watch the film again. I was told off at one point for tutting at a Lancaster flying overhead (in 1939 because the first one didn't fly until 1941 - my anorak is in the hall) but that's nit picking! Highly recommended for a night in with a bottle of wine watching the DVD!Read full review
