Sarah Polley stars in a film about a tragedy in a small town involving a school bus wreck on a snowy morning. Polley plays the only survivor that has to deal with the parents attempting to put together a lawsuit against the town. Ian Holm plays the lawyer, hired by Polley's father, trying to assemble the parents into a class action suit.
The film is sad and slow and incredibly cheesy. We get constant flashback to the kids before the accident. We sit through interviews with parents, the bus driver, and teachers like we are watching an episode of Law & Order. The film becomes an analogy between the Pied piper of Hamelin and the lawyer/father, with annoying narration by Polley herself.
I can see why this slipped out of the imdb Top 250 back in 2003. It was nominated for two Oscars for Director and Screenplay and won numerous awards at film festivals. I would not recommend this movie.
