“So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for… and deserved. Which ever since I’ve… ever since I’ve always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I’d like to think this isn’t weakness or… evasion… but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness. “
- Briony Tallis commenting on the ending of her 21st and last novel
Absolutely one of the saddest stories I’ve ever came across lately. It was nothing short of a love story and a story of a girl trying to make amends to everyone and to the lives she ruined. The casting was perfect. Keira Nightly and James McAvoy sure share the same chemistry. Despite the unexpected and sad ending, this film is easy to embrace and leaves you with contentment at heart. Totally recommend it.

Mitaa…i’ve seen it too. Zaki has it! Keira Nightly emang cocok buat film ber-setting jadul. Gw juga gak nyangka akhirnya semenyedihkan itu. Si Roby pake acara mati segala. Huiks…huiks…

berhubung bhs inggris gw dodol, walau ada teks nya masih rada ga ngerti. pemilihan vocab nya rada ga biasa (mnurut gw)..
love the movie!!! (but hate the ending.. haha, kebiasaan liat happy ending sih.. :p)..
dan gw menyarankan jgn nonton saat tengah malam. knapa? krn gw selalu ketiduran dan butuh waktu berminggu2 spy kelar nonton film ini, hehe..
