I haven't read the book, but I'm bored so I looked up a few things. How old is your sister?

The movie is R for "disturbing war images, language and some sexuality". Further investigation says that the 'sexuality' is an erotic make-out scene (Clothes remain on) and some wet clothes. The movie is R because of a very realistic depiction of the evacuation of Dunkirk in WWII.

A summary of the book (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28novel%29#Plot_summary">HERE</a>)
says about the same thing.

I hope that helps. My overall thought is that unless she's really young you should be fine.

Oo, I'm really excited about seeing this. :) It came out in September in the UK, but I didn't get around to seeing it. I think I'm going to rent it when it comes out on DVD. Until then I'm definitely planning on reading the book.
