It might be my fave performance from Knightley and I agree I think the two leads are worthy to be nominated as well as Ronan.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-49459630786608097282016-03-16T21:01:16.112+01:002016-03-16T21:01:16.112+01:00Thanks so much for stopping by, it is always such ...Thanks so much for stopping by, it is always such a pleasure to be linked on your site and participate in HMWYBS! <br /><br />Keira is amazing. She was my choice for the performer of the year in last year's Best and Worst list I compiled - her work in Begin Again, Laggies and especially in Imitation Game was amazing - she is so subtle, so human and so natural in her work, her reactions are always the reactions of actual human beings and even though she looks the same in most of her work it's so easy to buy her as these different women. And she takes on such admirable characters too and always sells them so well - the maturity in Atonement, the rage in Never Let me Go, the kindness in imitation Game. She is fantastics.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-78423240307190829862016-03-16T05:34:57.004+01:002016-03-16T05:34:57.004+01:00love that you took such a different angle. certain...love that you took such a different angle. certainly their sibling relationship is not the most or even the second or third most discussed thing abotu this movie. I think all the performances are brilliant. I remember people being cool on Romola Garai and the time but i think she's bloody fantastic... looking as shellshocked as the soldiers themselves who've seen actual war. It gives you such insight to how much she has punished herself mentally since childhood.<br /><br />that robby and cecilia can't forgive her in that scene is really because she doesnt forgive herself.<br /><br />(also, yes, Keira is excellent in this film. I think people dont understand her work because she is more stylized than many of her contemporaries but i think she's an incredible actor) NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-70571403133703891012016-03-15T20:48:48.336+01:002016-03-15T20:48:48.336+01:00Thanks so much!

I really like what you said about the sister relationship, if I had to find a flaw with the film, it would probably be that it didn't explore the relationship between Cecilia and Briony as well as they could have.

Especially as I felt that Romola Garai got overlooked for her work in that film as a young woman who knew the truth but was lost in the lie she created as she realized that she caused the damage and any attempts to repair is futile. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
