Return

All the movie buffs on this thread probably have seen it four times (if they didn't hate it) but I saw the 1997 Canadian film, "The Sweet Hereafter" for the first time a few days ago.

It was superb. If there are others, like me, who missed this little gem the first time around, I recommend it. It's dark, and there isn't a lot of uplift in it, but the performances (Ian Holm, Sarah Polley) were first-rate.

'Way better than anything that the Academy found interesting that year.
