" Since itâs a film about a bus crash, and itâs aftermath, you know itâs going to a tearjerker, and it is. After a accident, kills everyone on board, the town wants answers, and proceeds to sue the bus driver who survived. Based on the novel by Russell Banks, and itself based on the 1989 bus crash, in Alton, Texas, the film garnered rave reviews, even if audiences didnât see it that much. The film, which was nominated for dozens of awards, also featured a soundtrack with songs perform"

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. The last 20 years, I have tried to follow Atom Egoyan's work but everything he made recently turned out to be rather underwhelming ('The Captive' being an all-time low for the Canadian director). Well, after all these years, it was really neat to finally see his magnum-opus and the reason why the guy was one of the most heralded directors back in the 90's. To be honest, it wasn't an easy movie to decipher though. Indeed, you had first some random chronology which is usually a useless gimmick but it did work very well here. Then, the motivations of Steven Mitchell were also rather obscure. Indeed, it seemed rather unlikely that he did it for the money but, then, why did he try to convince this ” read more

"16.3. Bussitapaturman sattuessa kylÀÀn laskeutuu painava hiljaisuus. Kun hiljaisuutta saapuu rikkomaan asianajaja Mitchell Stephens, kaikki eivÀt ota hÀntÀ aivan yhtÀ lÀmpimÀsti vastaan. Elokuva aukeaa mestarilliseen tapaan, dialogi soljuu ja koko peruslÀhtökohta tarinassa ja teemoissa traumojen avaamisesta - puolin ja toisin - on tÀyttÀ rautaa. Hienoa elokuvaa jÀlleen Egoyanilta."
"28.1 Egoyan/Kanada Kohtalon arvaamaton akanvirta kuljetti sellaiseen tilanteeseen, jossa kaljapÀisen poikaporukan televisioruudusta alkoi nÀkyÀ keskiyön kellonlyömÀllÀ Atom Egoyanin indieklassikko Suloinen Ikuisuus. Kanadalaisen pikkukylÀn lapset ovat kuolleet koulubussin suistuttua jÀihin. KylÀnraitilla leijuu suru.

"12.2. 2019 A horrible tragedy strikes a small Canadian town when several children get killed in a school bus accident. A lawyer wants to find someone to blame for the accident by any means necessary. The lawyer is a very humane character, just like all the others. He is suspicious, but still not especially immoral, and he is also haunted by some dramatic personal incidents of his past. The story is told in unchronological order and Egoyan controls this stylistic decision admirably so that it "
“Egoyan at its best. Holm excells as an angry mature man, trying to fix everbpody's tragedy but his with his yunki daughter. The Pied Piper morbid sardonic satirical political theme (thanks to the bonus track I read it for the first time), spreads its mystery all over.” read more
