About this product

Product Information

Visionary LORD OF THE RINGS director Peter Jackson reteams with long-time collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens to adapt author Alice Sebold's best-selling novel concerning a murdered young girl who watches from heaven as her family attempts to cope with their devastating loss, and tracks her killer as he stealthily covers his tracks and prepares to claim his next victim. After the fantastical KING KONG, this dark tale marks the team's first foray into drama since HEAVENLY CREATURES in 1994.

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.

    The best murder film with a happy ending!

    This film has it all ! Sadness, love, hate, a tiny bit of funny and divine retribution. Probably my favourite film of all time. I would recommend this film to anyone. Lots of famous names in the cast and crew- Mark Wahlberg,Rachel Weiss,Susan Sarandon,Saoirse Ronan & Stanley Tucci. Crew- Peter Jackson & Steven Spielberg. I’ve watched it at least 5X and will continue to do so until I die. A must, must, must watch film.

    There's an entire 10 minute section of the movie missing from this copy of the original film which affects the plot massively and essentially makes this copy unusable.

  • Good Storyline

    Main thing - read the book instead. Although the movie is entertaining, the book puts across feelings much better.

  • Light hearted sad story

    A bit slow at first but once you you get into the storyline it is quite a good watch.

  • Excellent and thoughtfully challenging theme. Recommmended.

    Semi-tragic tale with a challenging theme. Well acted and presented with a satisfying fateful twist at the end. In a TV world of endless repeats I'm surprised this isn't show more often. If you have a deep held belief in kismet, you'll thoroughly enjoy this movie.
