Review of The Sweet Hereafter (1997) by John T C — 14 Jul 2010
One of my favorite movies. Hadn't watched it in quite a while. My copy showed up today. An emotion filled gem. An ambulance chasing lawyer looks to make money from a horrific bus crash killing the majority of the towns children.
However that's not the real story. The people personal stories are the attraction here. Peeling the layers of this town reveal possibly more than you want to know. Everyone and I mean everyone have serious flaws and secrets. Very emotional and flat out heartbreaking at times. If your idea of high drama is a cute disney movie, keep moving, this isn't for you.
Solid film making and powerful story. Do yourself a favor, see this movie ASAP.
