A must see movie for everyone

I have to recommend a movie to everyone; the movie is called "Grace is Gone" starring John Cusak.

This movie is about the other side of war; the homefront. It is an honest and brave portrayal of a father trying to raise his two daughters while the mother is serving in Iraq. You never meet the mother, nor does the filmaker try to tell her story about what she is going through oversees. It never dumbs anything down or makes a stance for or against the war, it doesn't have to. There are some arguments between Cusak and his brother, but it's an unexpected take on two differing opinions about America and war. The movie tells a story, takes you on a journey through someone elses eyes.

With all that said, it is not an easy movie to watch. I finally broke down near the end of the movie in uncontrollable tears (maybe because I tried to hold them back throughout the movie). It's a side of war that never really gets talked about, which is a shame. So hopefully more movies/documentaries will be made with the stories of the war widows and the children that have lost a parent, but i'm sure "Transformers 2" will be big box office success.
