8/10
Yes, yes, yes.

The trailer worked for me. I think many Americans are drawn to movies with a 9/11 twist. It was a huge, huge event in history. This film took the 9/11 tragedy and narrowed the focus onto young boy.

Oskar (Horn)is dealing with some insane grief after his father is killed on 9/11. He just wants to stay connected to the memory of his father. Much of the movie is focused on this little boy going on a journey and trying to heel his heart. Horn has some amazing acting chops. He carried the movie. Such strong emotions; the anger and pain and perseverance will connect with your heart.

Bullock and Hanks play a rather small, yet equally important role in the movie. We don't realize just how much of a struggle Oskar is going thru. This movie is about healing. And it does a remarkable job.
