Broken Hearts Club: Atonement📅 Wednesday, September 30th | 🕗 8:00 PM | 📍 TicTic
We close the month with the heaviest entry. A thirteen-year-old's misreading of what she's witnessed between her sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and the family's groundskeeper Robbie (James McAvoy) leads to a lie that destroys both their lives - and it's a lie the girl, Briony, spends the rest of the film, and the rest of her own life, trying to atone for. Joe Wright directs from Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel, and stages one unbroken tracking shot across the Dunkirk evacuation that's become one of the most talked-about single takes of the 2000s.
What makes it a fitting closer for Broken Hearts Club isn't just the tragedy - it's how the film complicates the very idea of a happy ending, right at the point where you're hoping for one. Few romances have made storytelling itself part of the heartbreak quite this directly.
"Sweeps you up on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance." - Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter
"Arrives with stately grandeur on the big screen." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
