Review of Grace Is Gone (2007) by Andrew K — 16 Mar 2009
Grace Is Gone is a movie that absolutely broke my heart.
This film was written and directed by James C. Strouse and is the story of loss. A dad finds out his wife has died serving our country and struggles with how he is going to tell his two daughters that their mother is gone.
John Cusack is my all time favorite actor. He was nothing short of amazing in this film, as Stanley. His performance was honest and real. You could feel the love he felt for his wife and for his daughters. I absolutely loved that they stripped him down for this role, and that he was very plain. It made it more real to me.
Shelan O'Keefe and Gracie Bednarczyk did a beautiful job as Heidi and Dawn in this film. They interacted well, almost as if they were real sisters. They all had a great chemistry as a family. You could sense the love they shared for each other and the love they had for their mother.
I probably went through a whole box of Kleenex while watching this movie.
Grace Is Gone is a touching, heart breaking story. It shouldn't be missed, if you are a fan of John Cusack. His performance was brilliant.
