CGiii Comment

Nominated for 2 Oscars - the acting is sublime.

It's the story that lets this down...it's dull, mundane and sleep-inducing.

The(ir) Blurb...

A small community is torn apart by a tragic accident which kills most of the town's children. A lawyer visits the victims' parents in order to profit from the tragedy by stirring up their anger and launching a class action suit against anyone they can blame. The community is paralyzed by its anger and cannot let go. All but one young girl, left in a wheelchair after the accident, who finds the courage to lead the way toward healing.
