Exceptional
There aren’t many films that unfold with a true grace, like a bird spreading it’s wings in a beautifully restrained manner. “The Sweet Hereafter” is one of them, it is an engrossing film that doesn’t rely on emotional manipulation to effect it’s viewer, it tells a tale like it is, and in the end, that is exactly what makes it so good. The film studies a small Canadian town in the face of tragedy, and carefully layers a series of intertwining stories involving a handful of locals who have all been impacted by the occurence. Every character seems to have a normal life at first, but as the film progresses, it becomes clear that they do not. They are emotionally void people who all harbour secrets and lies, and as much as they want to believe what they’re doing is right, deep down they know it’s not. Intense emotions of guilt and grief run through them, but for unusual reasons. “The Sweet Hereafter” examines the things that surface after the wake of a tragedy, after the eminent shock and sorrow, how people’s lives become so deteriorated and barren. The film skillfully uses different perspectives, places and time to explore the span of everything involved, asking why some things in the universe are out of our control, and if they happen for a reason. I was impressed with the film’s meticulous structure, every frame is measured delicately to maximise it’s power, and it works 100 percent of the time. From stark to striking, it’s visuals work just as well as it’s intellect. Ok, so Russell Bank’s novel is a bit clearer, but Atom Egoyan’s take on it is just as effective, if not more. Another thing that makes this film shine are it’s performances, Sarah Polley and Ian Holme are both superb, both exude with a gentle sadness that genuinely convinces. In all, “The Sweet Hereafter” is a film that needs to be seen, it is a beautifully realised and haunting film that’s virtually impossible to forget.

Mesmerizing.
This film has so much atmosphere, I actually felt like I was in this small town reliving the tragedy with the survivng parents. Atom Egoyan has made one of the most perfect films I have ever seen. The style he uses for his direction is one of distance and mood. Egoyan sets the tempo right from the opening shots and it never lets up. Ian Holm plays his role in a very understated manner, but brings passion to the role as well. The music to this film, by Mychael Danna, is very atmospheric and haunting. This is as close as I have ever seen a director get to a Kubrickian film. Sarah Polley is also very good in her role, the film also has some twists I wasn’t expecting at all. This is an absolutely great film.
