This Jamie Stuart video portrait of Atonement director Joe Wright is, as usual, "different", personal, whimsical...a promotional piece that doesn't promote or smooch celebrity butt as much as burrow in with some kind of view askew. One big problem: it was released two days ago, but it begins with a title that refers to a screening of Atonement that happened over three months ago at the Toronto Film Festival. My first reaction was "what...it took Stuart three months to slap it together?"

I like it. Mr. Wells, can you give Jamie your old name, "Hollywood Confidential?"

Yes, it's unfuckingbelievably long, archly staged, and pointless. Like the rest of the movie, it's just a lengthy stunt that doesn't add up to anything of substance.
