Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is one of those movies you just must not miss. My husband, 13 year old daughter & I went to see it on Christmas day. (emy daughter & I had seen it at a screening before but had been waiting to see it again: It was that good). I hadn't lost anyone in 9/11, but, as an ER doctor, I was still filled with the sadness many of us had who were waiting to treat the casualties that just never arrived. Like so many good movies, it made me laugh, cry, and experience an array of emotions with the characters. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close takes you through the struggle with a young boy (and his devoted family) as he tries to make sense out of the loss of his father " on the very worst day". I loved this movie & found some peace through it; finally able to put my unsettled feelings to rest. This story about the "worst day" is a marvelously acted, must see movie I now can't wait to add to my collection. Don't miss this amazing film!!!
