Saw the film this past weekend.
Reasonably good, humorous at times, poignant at times.
Thomas Horn, as Oskar Schell, the higher-functioning autistic child who lost his father on 9-11, does a wondeful job.
Kudos too, to Max von Sydow, in what must be the most unique role in his long career.
Solid 8 on as 10 scale rating
Never heard of it but the title is poetry.

The father and mother roles are played by Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, respectively.
I saw earlier today that Max von Sydow was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

He was in The Exorcist. ;D
I want to see this movie.
Well, Max von Sydow lost out to Christopher Plummer, who, at 82 years of age, becomes the oldest actor to win for a performance. (I will always think of him as Capt. von Trapp!)
I have a couple of films now I will have to soon see. Beginners and The Artist.

I know you probably don't dig npr, but they did what I thought was a pretty enjoyable interview with Christopher Plummer awhile back - http://www.npr.org/2011/06/03/136923439/christopher-plummer-after-81-years-a-beginner (http://www.npr.org/2011/06/03/136923439/christopher-plummer-after-81-years-a-beginner)
I don't think I'll ever see any of those movies, but I like to hear about them.
I thought this was good at best.
The plot was good and the actors were phenomenal. The execution lacked a little bit for me though.
I still recommend it though.
