Wonderfully intense movie, best I've seen in ages

Very well acted, a challenging insight into a sensitive boy's search to make sense of a huge tragedy. Brilliant ending, whole theatre sat entranced and some even burst into applause. Will go and so this movie again, and also read the book.

I quite liked it. Thomas Horn is a great little actor, and all the actors involved did a wonderful job with the story. I am glad that 9/11 was pushed pretty well much into the background, and did not show the actual attacks. I am not really ready to see much of 9/11 at all at the movies.

Enjoyed the movie very much. Tom Hanks never fails, nor did Sandra Bullock. Oskar seemed a lot older than the nine years he was supposed to be. There were times when I found myself saying "Cheeky little brat" But you did need to sympathize with him. Thomas Horn is an extremely good little actor.
