Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Some time after the death of his father (Tom Hanks) at 9/11, young Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) finds a key inside an envelope marked with the word ā€œBlackā€, and embarks on a quest to find the right ā€œBlackā€.Ā Considering the talent involved here, this is a huge disappointment, especially from a director who madeĀ The HoursĀ (2002) work so beautifully. The story about a boy dealing with grief after 9/11 has good moments (especially a scene with Jeffrey Wright), but is awfully burdened by its many contrivances; the boyā€™s precociousness is also tough to take.

2011-U.S. 129 min. Color. Widescreen.Ā Directed byĀ Stephen Daldry.Ā Screenplay:Ā Eric Roth.Ā Novel:Ā Jonathan Safran Foer.Ā Music:Ā Alexandre Desplat.Ā Cast:Ā Tom Hanks (Thomas Schell), Sandra Bullock (Linda Schell), Thomas Horn (Oskar Schell), Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, John Goodmanā€¦ James Gandolfini, Jeffrey Wright.
