I guess you needed to read the book to appreciate the movie. And I highly recommend reading the book, because it was highly acclaimed, awarded, and the best book I had ever read up until recently. I had no idea how they would turn it into a movie, due to its narrative concepts, but they pulled it off. A good cast was to thank for the good acting. They left out a few parts I had hoped to see, but they weren't essential. I think they should have focused more on Briony, because that's who the book was really about, and what she did to this young couple. I'm a little biased because of how good the book was, but what the book didn't have was an Oscar-winning music performance from Dario Marianelli. It got 6 other nominations, including Adapted Screenplay.
