Grace is Gone

Grace is Gone (2007)
Director James C. Strouse's indie drama stars John Cusack as Stanley Phillips, an ex-military man trying to find the courage to break some devastating news to his two daughters: Their mother has died while serving in Iraq. As he works through his complex feelings about his wife's death and the war, Stanley delays telling his girls the truth, instead taking them on an excursion to a theme park. The film won the Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance 2007.


I decided from now on I will put on my blog the movies we rented from Netflix. That way I can let you know if I recommend or to you not to bother.

Sometimes I pick movies that I never heard of and this is one of them. John Cusack and his daughters in the movie were great. It was definitely a tear jerker (get the tissues out), but made me laugh at the same time. Even though the story is very sad, and in some places kind of slow, you never lose interest because you can't help but wonder when he will decide to tell his daughters the truth. I recommend this movie to those that want to watch a good tearjerker and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
