If you loved Exotica, try The Sweet Hereafter
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Atom Egoyan, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Exotica, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Sweet Hereafter is
Ordinary People if the town fought back. A lawyer arrives in a grief-stricken small town after a school bus tragedy, hoping to launch a class-action suit. But he finds the families resist him in unexpected ways. Ian Holm anchors Egoyan's chilly vision.
