Extremely Loud & Incredibly close (film)

Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock star in the tale of a young boy who struggles with the loss of his father after his death in the Twin Tower attacks.

He finds comfort in the memories of his father and the times they spent coming up with expeditions and is intrigued when he finds a key amongst his father’s belongings. The envelope it’s contained in only says ‘Black’ and Oskar is determined to find out what the key belongs to by visiting everyone he can with the surname ‘Black’.

Along the way he meets various different people and discovers that while he has been trying to become closer to his father, he has actually become closer to those still around him.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this film, but I was interested to watch it due to the main 2 actors and the name of the film, but I have to admit, whilst I did enjoy the intrigue of it, I wouldn’t rush to watch it again.

It’s one of those films that once you've seen it you don’t need to see again. It was weird in places as I struggled to keep track of whether I was watching memories or the story, but I’m glad I can put it on the list of movies I have watched and experienced.
