Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Less a film about communication, in the end, than one with its fingers in its ears.
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" is the kind of movie you want to punch in the nose.
If imagining a city where people open their doors (or don't) to a boy with a key and a ton of questions is sentimental ... then it is vitally, beautifully so.
Stephen Daldry's extremely labored and incredibly crass adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel.
