The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones



I watched The Lovely Bones (2009) on HBO last night. It's about a fourteen year-old girl who's murdered by a serial killer neighbor.  She watches in angry frustration as her killer eludes capture. Emotionally draining and spiritually satisfying at the same time.  I'm haunted by it.

PS - I think the trailer shows too much.

The book is far better than the movie. I was disappointed in the movie. You have to suspend belief to swallow the movie and I am not willing to do that.

The psychedelic 'hereafter' scenes kinda/sorta diminished the film.
Not unlike similar scenes in "The Fountain". which Rachel Weisz was also in.
