After her Oscar-nominated performance in Lady Bird, Saoirse Ronan returns to period drama territory. Set in early 1960s England, the story centers on a young couple whose beautiful romance is challenged by the growing pressures of sexual freedom and societal pressure, leading to an awkward and fateful wedding night. Written by Ian McEwan, it brings things somewhat full circle for Ronan, who first came to widespread attention in an another McEwan adaptation, Atonement. – Michael
