I was lucky to be asked to review Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close this week. Adapted from a book by Jonathan Safran Foer, it follows the story of Oskar Schell. A wonderfully bright, inventive eleven-year-old from New York.
Oskar discovers a key in the belongings of his father, who has died in the World Trade Centre on 9/11.
He sets out on an urgent search for the lock it opens. Osker travels all over New York meeting a huge mix of people along the way .Even a long lost grandfather. They in turn help him to uncover links to his father, who was his whole world.
This movie was sad at times and I admit I cried but it was also so touching and sweet. It brought home the terrible loss of life in 9/11. The message from the movie was so powerful and strong, and for me really made the whole 9/11 and its impact come to life.
A wonderful cast with Tom Hanks , Sandra Bullock and the talented young actor in the role of Oskar, Thomas Horn, who I am sure we will be seeing much more of in the future. The whole cast were wonderful and I really could not fault any of the acting at all.
A beautiful movie set with the backdrop of New York. Although fairly sad at times, it also has a really lovely uplifting message running through the whole film. I think the whole family could enjoy it as although the subject is very serious, it also has such a lovely message.
I loved it and feel it could so be a classic movie of the future.
