| THE SWEET HEREAFTER is not the first film I have cried in, but certainly one
of the few where I felt unashamed of what I was being invited to weep over.

| by Seth Bookey |
| Perhaps I am turning into a stone, but I was unmoved by *The Sweet
Hereafter*, although it is a beautifully filmed movie. Other reviewers
have described it as elegaic. While it does remind you of an elegy, how
many elegies run feature-length? more |

| No filmmaker deconstructs a story as well as Atom Egoyan. I'm
referring, specifically, to the narrative form. In The Sweet
