“One man must find the truth …”

Despite the lameness of the trailer, which has 1990′s pseudo art film cheese written all over it, this was a strongly emotional film based on an even better book by Russell Banks about the devastation a school bus crash causes a small Canadian town. Ian Holm has a monologue describing a family emergency that totally nails what it means to be a father, and Sarah Polley is wonderful in her first major role as the lone survivor of the crash. I also have to mention the amazing Bruce Greenwood (Captain Christopher Pike in Star Trek) as a grieving father.
