Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011)

For most people it's a sweet enough story. I get the sense it might have been a decent book, but it just wasn't a very good film. Performances are overdone, there are way too many peaks and valleys, and the precociousness verges on intolerable. An ehn, ultimately.
