Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close touches the viewer on the very core. In the best way that Titanic and The Sweet Hereafter depicted tragedy by pulling back on the pivotal moment, only enhancing the heartache portrayed, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close shows the massive losses proficient in The big apple on September 11, 2001, over the lens of one young boy. Thomas Horn plays Oskar, a boy specialized in his dad (played by Tom Hanks, in flashbacks), who's lost in the attacks about the World Trade Center. The devastation of the day shudders through Oskar's family, including his mother, Linda (Sandra Bullock, in a subdued and affecting turn). Young Oskar is lost within the broken new world, but suddenly finds a purpose: an important left by his father. As Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close progresses, Oskar focuses for the key being a strategy to hook up to his lost father--but finds, instead, connections inside the unlikeliest of places. Horn is often a wonder in the leading role, and commands attention even as his emotions are scattered. Hanks and Bullock are excellent, as always, though they're more incidental to the film than the viewer could have hoped. Standing out inside the cast is Max von Sydow, a mysterious mute whom Oskar meets around the New York subway, and who becomes probably the most unlikely of guardian angels. Based on Jonathan Safran Foer's best-selling novel, that was capable to depict a lttle bit more wry humor to leaven the heartbreak and history lessons, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close nonetheless faces human tragedy straight on, and shows what sort of broken family might be rebuilt, one small key, one subway ride, one awkward hug in a time. --A.T.
