Atonement (in short)

This British adaptation is getting lots of critical attention. I can see this winning the big awards (it got the Globe for Best Pic). It has good acting, fantastic direction, a strong emotional pull, and it just feels like an English Patient or such type that could win. I'd be okay with that, I guess. It's not bad. But I wonder if people who don't like No Country for its nontraditional ending will go for this instead, because it's a curious last hour here as well.
