The Sweet Hereafter

An evocative parallel with The Pied Piper underlines a more complex set of emotions than the cinema is usually keen on depicting.

Egoyan's film, based on the novel by Russell Banks, is not about the tragedy of dying, but about the grief of surviving.

Worth watching for Holm's powerful and magnificent performance alone.

This is film making at its most powerful: drama capable of shaking the soul, yet free of even the slightest hint of manipulation, sentimentality, or mawkishness.

Icily beautiful and painfully clear-sighted, this disturbing and yet strangely optimistic film is an extraordinary, haunting mix of poetry and heartbreak.
