Review of The Sweet Hereafter (1997) by Kieran T — 01 Jul 2009
This is another film from the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival. And again like each of the other films from this festival we have a excellent film. Was inspired by the 1989 school bus crash in Alton, Texas.
Directed by: Atom Egoyan. A Small town, has a tragic bus accident, where bus driver loses control and the bus plunges into a frozen lake, with a father following his children to school, he watches the bus sink through the ice.
A lawyer shows up to interview each person involved to start a law suite. Mean while his own daughter is involved with drugs. Ian Holm plays the lawyer and does an excellent job. Acting by all is outstanding.
4 Stars and a Must See, I was surprised to see it listed for under $6.00 on Amazon.
