Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) starring Thomas Horn, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright. A weird kid named Oskar (Horn) loses his father (Hanks) in the terrorist attack on 9/11. Oskar finds a key among his father's belongings, and sets about searching all of New York to find the lock that it goes to. Along the way, he is helped by an old man who doesn't speak (von Sydow). Although this movie has many flaws, I still found it moving in the way it protrays the grief of one young boy who has lost his father on a fateful day. (The subtitles furnished on the disc are pretty good; closed captions, not offered, would have been better.) Grade: B+
