Atonement (+ Q&A)

A Marine haunted by a split-second decision during the Iraq War seeks reconciliation with the Iraqi family he and his unit fired on in 2003. This is a film about the weight of that moment — the kind of story that doesn't look away from the cost of war, or from the possibility of forgiveness.

Hiam Abbass anchors the film as the Khachaturian matriarch, a Syrian-Lebanese actor known for her unflinching presence in films like *Satin Rouge* and *Blade Runner 2049*. She's joined by Boyd Holbrook and Kenneth Branagh, with writer-director Reed Van Dyk making his feature debut. The early-access screening includes a Q&A with Abbass, Holbrook, and Van Dyk immediately after the 7 PM show.

Angelika Film Center is a classic Manhattan multiplex — the kind of place where you can catch a first-run indie or international film in a proper theater. This is an early-access screening, so expect a smaller crowd and a real conversation with the filmmakers. Doors at 7, film starts at 7 PM sharp.
