• ‘Atonement' Review': Boyd Holbrook, Hiam Abbass in Reflection on War (thefifthskill.com) — A new war drama features an Iraqi family who eventually resettle in Glendale bringing a local angle to its exploration of guilt and forgiveness after a tragic U.S. military shooting. The review praises Hiam Abbass’ performance and follows a Marine’s attempt to seek atonement years later, partly through a tense meeting with the now-Glendale-based family.
