High praise for art-house director Atom Egoyan's adaptation of Russell Banks' novel about a town that loses all its children in a school bus crash.
It alone "truly exceeded its advance hype," says People . Canadian director Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter, about a school-bus accident, also impresses critics, winning him plaudits as a "postmodern Hitchcock" (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly ). Other favorites include Donnie Brasco, The Wings of the Dove, and Face/Off, while the well-reviewed Boogie Nights and Titanic both fail to make many lists.
Though it has flaws (Egoyan's decision to romanticize the father-daughter incest blunted the force of the ending), The Sweet Hereafter has none of the insufferable smugness found in so much indie film in this Sundance era.
The ambiguity in this case is necessary, and the fact that we are never given a final solution to the mystery of what happened to the bus is central to Russell Banks' and Egoyan's premise that it is the nature of some tragedies to be incomprehensible--better to spend our energies fighting the evils we ourselves make than to rail at the unfeeling universe.
However, Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter does not, I feel, belong in this group.
