In this powerful drama, post-9/11, Tom Hanks stars as a father whose loss has imprinted itself upon his son, Oskar. With flashbacks, Hanks depicts a loving, playful parent whose memory powers the narrative. His warmth and relatability make the stakes emotionally higher, and depth gives to Oskar's healing and discovery journey. While the film was further polarized by criticism, the ability to bring both laughter and tears makes Hanks stand out as a strong performer in this extremely emotional story.
