A small mountain community in Canada is devastated when a school bus accident leaves more than a dozen of its children dead. A big-city lawyer arrives to help the survivors' and victims' families prepare a class-action suit, but his efforts only seem to push the townspeople further apart. At the same time, one teenage survivor of the accident has to reckon with the loss of innocence brought about by a different kind of damage.

A powerful look at loss and everything that comes along with it. Superb acting as usual in one of Egoyan's best outings.

I was drawn to this movie because it was one of the highest-rated movies at rottentomatoes.com. It did not disappoint. The story starts with a school bus accident in a northern town. Not much is said about the accident at the beginning of the movie. Instead, the story focuses on an out-of-town lawyer that comes to town to try to represent the parents of the kids that were hurt in the accident. My only problem with the movie was the characterization of the lawyer as a sympathetic character. Still, the script was excellent (including some bizarre plot twists that will leave you saying "is that what I think it is?") and the ending was satisfying. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies

I don't think this is close to Atom's best even if it is his most celebrated movie. It's a decent drama and well made but I wouldn't watch it again.
