Always people are talking good things about the talent of Keira Knightley, less of her skinny look.

This star you know better from the movie "Bend it Like Beckham", more "Pirates of the Caribbean" and recently "Atonement."

The film is an adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel, where Knightley plays Cecilia Tallis, the bored and brittle daughter of a wealthy English family, who's frittering away a hot 1930s summer after finishing college. Her emerging romance with a housekeeper's son is destroyed by a lie told by her younger sister — a fiction that transforms the lives of all three central characters.

The co-star, the gorgeous James McAvoy and director Joe Wright made a great team in shooting the movie.
"I was interested by the fact that she really isn't very nice at the beginning," Knightley told The Associated Press. "She's a snob. I think she's probably a good person, but she's at a point in her life where she's sort of aware of her privilege but completely directionless. I was fascinated by this woman who is emotionally repressed and yet the emotions are bubbling away under the surface and just waiting to explode."

The central character is Briony, the precocious child whose imagination causes calamity and who grows up to be a successful novelist. She's played on film by three actresses — Vanessa Redgrave, Romola Garai and 13-year-old Saoirse Roman.
