It seems that my passion for Atom Egoyan peaked when The Adjuster came out, then slumped when Calendar and Exotica came out, then hit the "I'm not really seeing anything else this guy does" with The Sweet Hereafter. Oh, damn, and that was cemented with Felicia's Journey. Now, you would NEVER get me to see THAT again.. But since this title became available for me to watch again, I decided to watch it again to see if I liked it any more the second time. And I do believe I had the same reaction as from the beginning. And that is.. What happened? I mean, there is some of the quirkiness so evident in all of his films,. And the acting is always great (Egoyan IS a actor's director for sure). The main problem is nothing really HAPPENS in the movie. Although people make a big production about how wonderful this is, and you know what? I can SEE their point, and it's really quite a clever script.
I just didn't overly like it. There. So sue me. Put that 'no' in the "Was this review useful?" box. J
