yes, it was extremely emotional throughout the ENTIRE movie. i laughed several times, cried more often that i wanted to, but i left in awe of how well written and remarkable the moments were. i recently lost my father, so i will say, i do NOT recommend this movie if you have lost a loved one recently or have strong emotional ties with 911....it will be very hard to cope with parts of the movie. but overall, i have no negative criticisms.

This is an unpredictable, non-traditional look at the emotion surrounding 9/11. I would definitely recommend that viewers see this film. This movie really gripped my heart.

Movie reviews are totally subjective when they're coming from lay people, and I am just one person. With that being said...this one just wasn't for me. I found the kid to be incredibly annoying up until the last 15 or so minutes. Given that he wasn't definitively diagnosed with Aspergers, I just found his character to be too much.

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!!!

I WAS DISAPPOINTED. THE PLOT OF LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER TO FINDING THE RIGHT LOCK FOR THE KEY WAS ONLY THING KEEPING ME SITTING THERE. NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED.
