John Cusack is brilliant" (Lou Lumenick, New
York Post) in this engaging story about the power of
family. In one of his most acclaimed performances,
Cusack makes an astonishing transformation as
Stanley Phillips, a sad disconnected man unable to
tell his young daughters that their mother, a
soldier, has died in Iraq. Instead, he takes the
girls on a road trip, where their innocent charm
helps him rediscover a healing joy he thought he'd
lost forever. Honest and tender, GRACE IS GONE ""is
a very strong, very moving film " (Richard Roeper,
AT THE MOVIES WITH EBERT & ROEPER).
