A small town is devastated when several children are killed or injured when the school bus crashes into a frozen lake. Lawyer Ian Holm arrives and persuades as many people as he can to file a class action. He does this during a time of significant personal challenge as his drug addicted, wayward daughter and he are slipping further apart.
Tremendously subtle, well scripted and acted piece that could so easily have been achingly sad, depressing even sentimental. It is though all managed carefully and objectively reflecting how grief impacts different people in different ways, including Holm. He gives a stunning performance contributing a number of highly memorable, moving scenes, particularly relating to his daughter, both currently and when she was young. If you're in the mood for this, and it is sometimes a hard watch, you will find it most rewarding.
