EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE [2011]

Director Stephen Daldry puts on his schmaltzy Oscar suit for the adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's 9/11 aftermath novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
The story itself could have had great intentions but got lost along the way to ruthlessly tug at the heart strings and make us feel good.  Those intentions are so crystal clear it's pretty offensive the producers didn't think anybody would see right through this Oscar bait bullshit.
What a manipulative pile of shit.
