I do think Keira Knightly is a good actress, but has a really annoying self assurance about her that I find off putting. Thought both acresses playing Briony Tallis were very good, and amazingly cast in terms of looks (actually there were 3 playing her if you include Redgave at the end, but I mean the younger 2). I did think it was visually stunning, particularly the Dunkirk bit, what a set! Basically though I found myself just getting in to it as it was ending. Wanted the story to go somewhere else. All in all a decent watch, and well done, but I guess it just wasn't really my thing. Lovefilm now sending me No Country for Old Men which I'm really looking forward to seeing.
