The Sweet Hereafter tells a very powerful story, yet it manages to make it even more powerful by the way it is shot. Several human dimensions intertwine here, presented in absolutely perfect direction with great editing, where you have no problem understanding where you are and how the time jumps work. The film is very well shot.
