Grace is Gone


Grace is Gone - DVD (2007)

So continues the John Cusack film festival. It was short and suit,and I feel a bit ambivalent on this one. I watched it on Sunday, and felt a little let down by it.

It was for me a little bit try hallmark movie trying to be indie. A father learns that his wife is killed in Iraq, and tries to deal with the loss and find a way to tell his daughters. We're also going to put him in an average job, in an average house. Buy his clothes at the op shop and decorate the house in such put together goodwill, that the decor glared at me and distracted me from any drama.

Normally talk of death and mothers dying can make me cry at the drop of a hat, but I was strangely unmoved by this little drama trip. 2/5
