THE SWEET HEREAFTER (1998)
Certification15 Our Rating
Mitchell Stephens, the excellent Ian Holm, arrives as an ambulance chaser in a rural Canadian town in the wake of a tragic school bus accident in which most of the community's children have been killed.

Critically acclaimed, subtly structured, nominated for two Oscars and an extremely well made movie.
