Atonement and never let me go

Just watched both of these films back to back, starting with never let me go… read atonement almost two decades ago now, barely remember it except it being a gut punch and hating briony, never let me go I have not read. Just wanted to say I do not recommend this unless you wish to tear your own heart apart, this double feature. Both feature Keira in different (kind of opposite) roles, both tell the story of a beautiful / almost otherworldly romance being torn apart by the petulant jealousy of what can only be described as some little twat/ brat

Anyone else feel the harsh similarity in theme of these two Keira films despite her playing the villain in one and tragic heroine in the other? And despite them being two different films in different genres combined with romance
