ReviewsThe Daily Express - A beautifully made [...] film with a luminous central role from Saoirse Ronan., Empire - THE LOVELY BONES does a fantastic job with revered, complex source material.<BR><BR> [...] it is doubtful weÆll see a more imaginative, courageous film in 2010., Time Magazine - Through Jackson's art and Ronan's magic, the obscenity of child murder has been invested with immense gravity and grace. Like the story of Susie's life after death, that's a miracle.
Additional InformationFourteen-year-old Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is just experiencing the pangs of first love when she's viciously murdered by her neighbor Mr. Harvey (Stanley Tucci), a predatory wolf in J.C. Penney clothing. As her family slowly begins drifting apart while struggling to make sense of their loss, Susie bravely attempts to find her footing in the hereafter. Meanwhile, down on earth, Mr. Harvey is feeling confident that he's covered his tracks well enough to get away with the crime, and begins honing in on his next victim -- Susie's younger sister, Lindsey (Rose McIver), who's beginning to suspect that he's not the harmless suburbanite he portrays himself to be. Director Peter Jackson reteams with KING KONG and LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy co-screenwriters Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh to adapt Alice Sebold's bestselling novel for the big screen. After the fantastical KING KONG, this dark tale marks the team's first foray into drama since HEAVENLY CREATURES in 1994.
