Movie Review - "Grace is Gone"

No spoilers ahead - it's okay to read this if you haven't seen the movie.

"Grace is Gone" is a character study about a man (John Cusack) who doesn't know how to tell his young daughters that their mother (his wife) was killed in the line of duty while serving in the military. It was very, very interesting - one of the best movies I've seen in a while. It's also relatively short - always a good thing in a movie world of bloated, two-hour-plus running times.

Recommended!

I saw it. I liked it well enough...Certainly not my favorite John Cusack movie.

You know, it's funny .... I usually don't care much for John Cusack, but for whatever reason, I liked him in this one.
