I love movies as much as books but seeing this movie after the book with our book club members added so much value. There was not the disappointment you often have viewing a movie adaptation. In contrast to the book which had a mixed response from our group, there was enthusiastic endorsement for the move - both for the screenplay adapted from the book and the acting - we all agreed the child actor who played Oscar was outstanding and we all loved Tom Hanks as Dad and admired Sandra Bullock's portrayal of Mum. We enjoyed reflecting on the themes of autism (or was it just difference) portrayed throughout the movie. It was a bit of a tear jerker right through but also an uplifting story of community at its best with an ending that affirms life and family in the midst of loss and especially in the face of unexplained terror events.Read full review

I bought it because I liked the actors in it but it mainly focuses on the child, who is brilliant. A real in depth view into how people of all ages can be affected by grief and finding happiness afterwards. Highly recommended.
