Review of Extraordinary Measures (2010) by Markv. — 30 Jan 2010
Wow! Great movie. One of the best I've ever seen. Way better than I expected. This is a wonderful example of real storytelling. Not the fake stuff where CGI and violence are mistaken for "good storytelling.
" Such a refreshing cinematic experience. I was pleasantly surprised. Fraser, Ford and the young actress Droeger all gave outstanding performances. I found Fraser very believable as the father. This is the best work I've ever seen from him.
He did a fantastic job conveying the emotions of a father who knows he could lose his children at any moment, but is determined to save them at all costs. His performance was so subtle and very realistic.
Droeger was adorable! She really stood out. Meredith Droeger. Remember that name. The kid's got major talent. Ford was good also. He nailed the role of a grumpy, anti-social scientist. That's the character.
.. and Ford nailed it. I'll definitely be seeing this one again. I wish Hollywood would make more films like this that reflect the best parts of humanity. This is a movie that was perfectly scripted, perfectly cast, and perfectly acted.
Based on a true story. Love it! Beautiful. Fantastic movie.
