Review of The Sweet Hereafter (1997) by Richard C — 29 Nov 2010
An arresting, moody, contemplative tragedy, which centers on the loss of a small isolated community in flashbacks and in the present. With the acting you'd expect from any serious drama, and laid out so as to keep the viewer intrigued.
I don't buy the philosophy it cheaply addresses, and instead took to a rational standpoint, equivalent to the lawyer who sways from exploiter to sympathizer. So the last action which the film rests on made the kid out to be a prideful cunt.
Otherwise, a good hour and fifty minutes of that drama that critics and movie watchers alike can agree on being excellent.
