I saw “Atonement” for the first time since Toronto last night (no thanks to Donna Daniels Associates) and it confirmed my earlier feeling that with the right handling, this one could go all the way on Oscar night. It’s got stupendous peformances, stupendous directing, stupendous writing, stupendous production values and the most dazzling twist ending since “The Sixth Sense.” I’ll go even further out on a limb here: it’s also the most achingly romantic movie since “Titanic.” I can’t think of anything in the last 10 years that comes close. My review will appear next week.
