Atonement (update)

Harold gave Atonement a 4.5 out of five, stating: "When Vanessa Redgrave takes the screen for the film's final act we get the intimacy we've been longing for...but rather than satisfy us...that brilliant ending confirms in our mind that more of that kind of dialogue from other characters throughout the story would have lifted ATONEMENT to another level. ATONEMENT is an awfully good movie, but it just missed on being a classic. 4 1/2 of 5 hs." Oh myyyy. He has been subjected to movie overload. Atonement has dialogue even when it doesn't have dialogue. It is the best movie I have seen since Fargo. It beats all Cohen brothers hands down, however. It is beautiful and dramatic and also has an intrigue that I have not seen since Mulholland Drive. 4 1/2 out of 5?? It is a 10 out of 5. Joe
