Weirdly, I just found it on Paramount+ through their Showtime add-on channel. Not sure if that’s a regional thing or a recent add. Otherwise, yeah, digital rental is the consistent legal option. The film’s kind of a tough watch emotionally, so maybe renting is better than committing to a subscription for it anyway.
If you’re looking for 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close', I checked for it recently because a friend mentioned the book. It’s not super easy to find streaming on the major services all the time—it seems to rotate. Last month it was on Hulu, but when I looked yesterday, it wasn’t there for me. You can rent or buy it digitally on places like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu. That’s usually my fallback when a film isn’t included with a subscription. I’d suggest just searching the title on the platform you use most; the rental price is typically around $3.99.
It’s a Warner Bros. film, so sometimes it pops up on HBO Max (or just Max now, I guess), but I didn’t see it there currently. Those library shuffles are frustrating. The adaptation is... interesting. Having read the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, the film takes a very different emotional approach, leaning heavily on the post-9/11 grief through the kid’s perspective. Some scenes, like the one with the answering machine, hit hard, but the overall critical reception was mixed. Still, Thomas Horn and Max von Sydow are worth the watch. I ended up renting it on Amazon last year.
