If Atonement hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: grief, and letter
The difference: Easier on the twists than Atonement

Joe Wright working the same nerve twice


The same preoccupation in both: nurse

Both land stillness and romance at once
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Joe Wright directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Sits closer to history than Atonement does

The same mix in both: tenderness, then melancholy

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Romance with a pulse of romance, in both cases

Both lean on tenderness more than on drama

Melancholy romance in both cases

Drama built on twists, twice over
In the mood for more contemplative?
