Molto forte, incredibilmente vicino

This film is about a boy's journey to find the lock which his father's key fits into.

Set in a backdrop of the post September 11th attacks, the story is bound to be touching. Looking through the confusing times through the eyes of a autistic-spectrum child makes "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" even more powerful. The way he steps out of his comfort zone, his bravery and persistence to find the answer is inspiring. It keeps me glued to the screen, hoping a Hollywood ending will occur. Of course, we get catharsis after catharsis of painful emotions. These portrayals are incredibly real, and incredibly touching.

"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is an excellent drama that deals with painful wounds, and its journey to healing.
