By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
Some films are well  crafted but lifeless. Others err by believing they can too readily make an  audience care for a character just by having a traumatic situation beset him  early on. The Sweet Hereafter, a 1997 drama by Canadian director and  screenwriter Atom Egoyan, suffers from both maladies. It’s not a bad film, but  it certainly is not a great film, either &#8212; much less ‘the best film of the year’ as  Los Angeles Times [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE SWEET HEREAFTER Review: Part I
Nichole  is also hamhandedly used  as a symbol when she recites Robert Browning&#8217;s  poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin. The idea of lost children is so obvious in The  Sweet Hereafter  that the reason Egoyan adds this touch is bewildering, save that he &#8212; bizarrely &#8212; felt  the loss wasn&#8217;t evident enough.

The handsome but vapid Howard Hughes biopic will be screened on Monday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy&#8217;s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. 
Following the screening, cast members Alec Baldwin, Jacob Davich, J.C. Mackenzie, and Amy Sloan, production sound mixer Petur Hliddal, special effects supervisor R. Bruce Steinheimer, and miniature effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner will take part in a discussion about the film.
