Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011 Stephen Daldry)

... who directed the Hours and The Reader.

Scr Eric Roth, who has many screenplay credits, though some of them are a bit suspicious, Benjamin Button being a good example. Also Forrest Gump (he was a friend of Jim Morrison, apparently), Munich, Horse Whisperer.

Thomas Horn, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright (her ex), John Goodman.

Somewhat too much music from Alexandre Desplat.
Some nice images from Chris Menges. (Illness prevented Harris Savides from shooting it.)

Didn't like the title.
A bit Hollwoody schmaltzy.
Good flashes of people he meets. Picks up with Max. We wanted to know what the bequeathment was.
