This was a beautiful, faithful treatment of an outstanding novel.
I thought they fudged the ending a little too much...the key point of the book, the kicker that stayed with me long after I read it...that there is no atonement, that sometimes people do really awful things to one another and aren't required to answer for it...wasn't in the film. It was implied but only obliquely.
That aside, this was wonderful in every way...acting, sets, editing. Solid literary adaptation.
