    Angels Crest

    In “Angels Crest,” guilt eats away at a young father whose momentary lapse of judgment caused his 3-year-old son to freeze to death. Another in the procession of dead-children movies that followed Atom Egoyan’s magisterial “The Sweet Hereafter,” helmer Gaby Dellal’s sophomore effort unfolds in a similarly snow-blanketed small town filled with grieving adults, the community divided in apportioning blame. In contrast with Egoyan’s labyrinthine structure and complex storylines, “Crest” cobbles tillsammans bits of plot and a motley assortment of half-formed characters. Opening Dec. 30 in limited release, this vinterlik tearjerker figures to melt away quickly.

    The opening scenes establish a believably deep bond between Ethan (Thomas Dekker) and his bright, loving son, Nate (Ameko Eks Mass Carroll), as they embark on an adventure in the woods. When Nate falls asleep, Ethan, seduced by the mist-shrouded beauty of the

    Guilt, Responsibility, Forgiveness: One Town, One Life, One Wrong Turn

    31 December 2011

    ANGELS CREST is not a perfect movie: there are so many undeveloped sidebars that keeping everyone in a place where they seem to fit into the tale is difficult. But there are some powerful performances here and some cause for reflection that makes the movie very worthwhile watching. Based on the novel by the same name written by Leslie Schwartz, adapted for the screen by Catherine Trieschmann, and directed by Gaby Dellal, the story deals with numerous interactions of a small town populated with alcoholics, drug abusers, adulterers, and other strange types and how they deal with a tragedy that makes no sense.

    Nate Denton (Ameko Eks Mass Carroll) is a 3 year old son of Ethan Denton (Thomas Dekkar in a breakout performance that deserves attention) who awakens one morning in his pathetic home to tell his beloved single dad that it is snowing. The father/son bond is strong and Ethan dresses

    There are a handful of similarities between Atom Egoyan's acclaimed The Sweet Hereafter (1997) and Gaby Della's applause-worthy Angels Crest. Both explore the aftermath of children's deaths in self-contained communities, the difference being in the number of tiny coffins: a busload vs. one. Both are also based on well-received novels: the former by the renowned Russell Banks, the latter by the far less known Leslie Schwartz. Additionally, both are extremely well directed and showcase a first-rate cast.

    Leading the gaggle of worthy thespians including the likes of Mira Sorvino, Elizabeth McGovern and Jeremy Piven is the too-cute-to-be-real Thomas Dekker. Last seen as an ambisexual college student in the semi-soft-porn extravaganza Kaboom and as the gay Lance Loud in Cinema Verite, Dekker plays against type here and succeeds winningly. He embodies the scruffy, 21-year-old, rednecky Ethan, who while stalking deer one wintry day fatally loses track of his three-year-old son
