The Greatest

The Greatest is a film that revolves around the Brewer family as they cope with the death of their teenage son, Bennett (Aaron Johnson), in a car accident. Bennett's parents (Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan) deal with the tragedy in dramatically opposite ways, one through obsession and the other through denial. Meanwhile, the surviving Brewer son barely makes an impression on his grief-stricken parents.Sundance 2009: The Greatest Overview

• "...the difficulty of affecting a contemporary audience emotionally demonstrates how much respect a work like The Greatest engenders: it is an enormously moving, intelligent exploration of pain and grieving, a film that will touch you and stay with you. An ensemble film that is the debut of Shana Feste, a particularly talented young filmmaker, this sensitive and heartbreaking feature showcases Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan at their best and launches a career for young actress Carey Mulligan that is certain to be impressive."—Sundance 2009 Film FestivalSundance 2009: The Greatest Overview
