Sensory spectacle -- bravura editing, Old Hollywood glamour, inventive scoring -- works as the foundation of director Joe Wright's "Atonement," which stars James McAvoy, Keira Knightley and Keira Knightley's silken green dress.

In this episode, Mike and Brian explore the line separating "showy" from substantive high style, they talk metafiction, melodrama, misunderstandings and when those things intersect in this film to deliver powerful emotional moments. Then, they decide whether or not this film deserves a place in their top fives of the year.
