The final entry on the 2012 Oscars list: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Starring a multitude of famous people, this a story centered around a boy named Oscar trying to cope with the loss of his father during 9/11. While the acting etc. was passable, I actually found the story the most compelling part of this movie. Because I don't want to spoil it for you poppets, this will (by necessity) be a short review. I just want to say that the unfolding of the six messages is probably some of the best tension you'll find in the top nine this year and the "reveal" at the end involving two of the main characters demonstrates quality plot development. This is definitely the movie that surprised me most, in the best possible way: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
