Grace Is Gone (2007)

The haunting story of a discharged American soldier widowed by the war in Iraq, won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. “I was watching a news story about the war in Iraq that featured the parents of soldiers who had been killed, and it struck me: What would happen to your belief system if you lost a loved one to the cause?” writer-director James C. Strouse explained to MM. As Stanley Phillips, Cusack steered clear of the satire that’s often present in his work, instead, turning in a harrowing, heartbreaking performance.
