Review of Grace Is Gone (2007) by Kavian U — 11 Feb 2013

Flat out too depressing. I can't take watching movies like this as anything casual. Sure it has its light moments but then you think of Cusack's character and what he knows, it rips at your emotions.

There's a lot of character symbolism in the actors, and technically its great that nothing is spoon-fed to the audience, which leaves us sitting there, stewing in each characters emotions. Cusack gives easily his finest performance, sold the hell out of that role.

The voice message scenes got me the most and were the highlights of the script and film. But good god, I'll probably never watch this movie again.
