Grace is Gone

Kevin Crust of the LA Times gives "Grace is Gone" a "recommended" rating in his review:

The directorial debut of screenwriter James C. Strouse, "Grace Is Gone" is an emotionally rich and satisfying drama featuring a terrifically understated performance from John Cusack. In a year that has seen wave after wave of films addressing the war in Iraq with varying degrees of anger and frustration, "Grace" serves as a gently thoughtful coda and reminder of what continues.

Synopsis: Stanley Phillips (John Cusack) receives the kind of news that every spouse of a soldier dreads: His wife, Grace, has been killed in Iraq. He must find a way to break the news to his two young daughters, Heidi (Shélan O'Keefe) and Dawn (Gracie Bednarczyk), but cannot bring himself to do it. Stanley takes the girls on a road trip to Florida, all the while searching for the right time and place to tell them about their mother's fate.
