Adapted from the acclaimed bestseller by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is a story that unfolds from inside the young mind of Oskar Schell, an inventive eleven year-old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in his deceased father's belongings sets him off on an urgent search across the city for the lock it will open. A year after his father died in the World Trade Center on what Oskar calls "The Worst Day," he is determined to keep his vital connection to the man who playfully cajoled him into confronting his wildest fears. Now, as Oskar crosses the five New York boroughs in quest of the missing lock - encountering an eclectic assortment of people who are each survivors in their own way - he begins to uncover unseen links to the father he misses, to the mother who seems so far away from him and to the whole noisy, dangerous, discombobulating world around him. © 2011 Warner Bros.

We watched this after coming across it whilst browsing our TV provider's on demand service. What a good choice it was. It is set against the events of 9/11 and a family's tragic loss as a result. The movie manages to be sad but heart warming. If you enjoyed "The curious incident of the dog in the night" either as the book or the play, I think you will enjoy this.

Saw this in the cinema knowing nothing about the plot. The story keeps you gripped throughout and really touches on all your emotions. Great performances all round! Highly recomended!

Even for non-American, this is a superbly touching film that treats with a bright young boy's ways of coping with painful situation very accurately.
