Audience Reviews for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

• Aug 21, 2017

  Set the controls for your suspension of disbelief to max before watching this one folks. You'll also have to forgive it for its schmaltz and melodrama along the way. On the other hand, there are some nice moments, and the movie's treatment of death, loss, searching for answers when there are none, community, rebuilding, and understanding is touching. Director Stephen Daldry is wise in exercising restraint about the horrors of 9/11, and Thomas Horn and Tom Hanks turn in strong performances. Do fathers like the one Hanks plays actually exist? Perhaps not, but the balance shown with bad fathers in the film may strike a chord with anyone who has conflicting feelings about family members. I loved seeing Max von Sydow at age 82 in his supporting role, and that alone made it worth seeing for me. On the whole, your emotions will either be stirred or you'll find yourself cynical, and I suppose I experienced a bit of both and ended up in the middle. It is surprising to me that the film was nominated for Best Picture. Its heart was in the right place but it just wasn't subtle enough in its execution to recommend without reservations.

  With an almost completely unlikable protagonist and oversentimental subject material, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is surprisingly unwatchable despite ideas worth talking about. The pacing is off, the acting medicore and the story is all over the place. Best Picture worthy? I think not.

  Extremely Loud & Incredible Close has a story worth the telling and will be remembered as a outstanding movie to the occasional viewer, but the movie ultimately fails to tell the story of its source and becomes something of its own, replacing essential plot points from the book with Hollywood clichés. Despite the ever best efforts from it's dedicated and loyal cast, mainly Thomas Horn and Max von Sydow for their undeniable screen chemestry, Stephen Daldry fails to give the right treatment to the movie, eventually as a ploy for an Oscar. The potential is there and the movie knows it - but due to some force beyond our capacity of comprehension, it is dished away; instead of becoming something as memorable as the book was, the movie becomes something the viewer will remember for a short while after witnessing it, but will slowly fade away as it fails to achieve an honorary mention into the general public

  I didn't like this film at first, and I found the protagonist Oskar to be annoying. But in spite of this, I kept watching, and by the end of the first hour of the film, I couldn't help but begin to enjoy this film. You really start to root for Oskar on his journey to finish his father's final expedition. And the scene when he meets Jeffrey Wright's character is absolutely heartbreaking. I enjoyed this film because it showed the audience one of the worst events in history and its aftermath from the perspective of a child. He's not afraid to be open about things and to ask questions, especially about 9/11. It seems like most Americans these days are afraid to talk about it, or act as if it never happened, so to see a film like this, seen through the eyes of a character who was personally affected by it, was indescribably emotional. I would definitely recommend this film.
