John Cusack gives a superb performance in this moving story about a husband and father who can’t bring himself to tell his two young daughters that their career-soldier mother has been killed in combat in Iraq. Shélan O’Keefe, Gracie Bednarczyk, Alessandro Nivola. Written and directed by James C. Strouse., John Cusack is excellent in this moving story about a father who can’t bring himself to tell his two young daughters that their mother has been killed in combat in Iraq., The contemplative, understated tearjerker Grace Is Gone dramatizes the quiet crisis that befalls Stanley (John Cusack), a young Midwestern husband of a female marine stationed in Iraq, and a father of two girls. Suddenly and unexpectedly widowed when his wife, Grace, is killed on the battlefield, Stanley cannot bring himself to share the devastating news with his two young daughters. In lieu of speaking to them immediately about their mother’s death, Stanley internalizes his devastation and takes the girls on a road trip while he attempts to sort through a myriad of conflicted and tumultuous internal feelings about the war itself and contemplates how to break the shattering news. Inevitably, the road trip will end with Grace’s funeral. This film represents the brainchild of producer/star Cusack and writer/director James C. Strouse. It began with Cusack’s fury about the Bush administration’s policy banning footage of caskets returning from the Iraq and Afghani wars, and his desire to see those events played out onscreen, in the lives of American citizens.
