Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close plot
"This is not a story about September 11th, it's a story about every day after."
Nine-year-old Oskar discovers a key in a vase in a cupboard. The key belonged to his father, he is sure of it. But which of the 162 million locks in New York does it fit? This is the beginning of Oskar's quest - inventor, letter writer and amateur detective - through the five boroughs of New York and into the jumbled lives of friends, family and complete strangers. He gets closer and closer to a family secret that goes back fifty years.

Well, making a film about 9/11 can either go well, just think of Reign over me with Adam Sandler, but can also get bogged down in good intentions without really taking off. However, the starting point triggers when nine-year-old Oskar finds a key, but doesn't know what to fit. He sees in it an assignment from his father who was trapped in one of the two Twin Towers on 9/11.
Nice role by Thomas Horn who does an excellent job and carries the film. I'm always a bit wary of films that revolve around a character with autism, but in this role I could relate. Although they occasionally went over the edge on the sentimental side. Not really credible that Oskar suddenly got over his fear of man. Autism goes much further than that and goes beyond shyness...
Partly because of this, I could never really relate to the suffocating 9/11 story. Well done from Horn and a good basic concept, but it never grabbed me by the throat. That's why it's just enough.
