We are back.... With Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

After more than a year hiatus on our blog, I have decided to pick it back up. My goal is to review one movie/show a week. To start it off I will review the movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close:

My eyes still hurt from watching this! This movie follows a little boy with autism/aspergers, Oscar, on a journey to solve a mystery left behind by his father who was killed in 9/11. Because you experience the movie through the eyes of the little boy, the movie definitely has a different feel. He travels around New York meeting and talking with people while trying to get clues from a key that he found in his dads closet. It was confusing at times, a little slow at times, and heart-wrenching at times. The acting was phenomenal though and I am seriously impressed with the child who played Oscar. I think it is a movie definitely worth seeing once, but be prepared with tissues on hand.

Rating: 7/10
