Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

She dies. Happy ending tho.
Very good up until the point where Mr Harvey tragically gets caught by the sister.
The sister then becomes a snake and then tells on him to the police.
Sister is a snitch and snitches get stitches.
Mr Harvey's a quality bloke who undeservedly is painted as the villain and dies of ice in head and falling off a mountain. Absolute legend.
Top notch film.
Where's the sequel at?

Really powerful, beautiful film. Yes, the underlying theme is frightening, but this is in no way a 'horror' film. It's a story about life, death, the Afterlife, vengeance, love, and ultimately, hope for justice.I decided to watch this movie because my father died today and I wanted to think about what it's like to be dead and 'in between' worlds. This movie really touched me and even inspired a few tears. The acting is overall, great. I feel that Rachel Weiss looked FAR too young in this film to be Susie's mother...she looked like an older sister. All of the characters are interesting in their own right. Susie's sister is a great character, as well. I thought Stanley Tucci's character looked so much like Javier Bardem I couldn't recognize him until I read the credits! Really enjoyed the music.And the CGI...I normally HATE CGI because I grew up in the 70's and 80's so I'm used to people in costumes, etc...those seem more 'real' than all the CGI 'monsters' they use nowadays. In this movie, CGI is used in a wonderful, beautiful and touching manner. Loved it, and recommend it highly.

Thing is , when Arnold Swarzenegger does a soppy daydream movie (as most of his are ) you don't leave feeling you've been patronised.So my review is : A well made . well acted .soppy daydream movie , albeit somewhat patronising ( matronising ? )One step up from reading the Daily Mail.

Was Mr. Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones a good movie? I just discovered this movie very recently from a old friend. I decided to watch myself but I was skeptical at first due to all of the mixed reviews the movie received. It was okay. The film does have its bad moments; I hated Lenerman, some of the scenes with Grandma Lynn were stupid, CGI was a bit corny and it could have handled the subject matter more maturely. Despite of the bad moments, the film did have its good moments. I personally liked the scene were Susie and her father made contact in the in-between and I also liked the scene were Susie joins Harvey's other victims in Heaven. Susie's death (from the part were she enters Harvey's dungeon to the part were she finds out that she died) was handled well and the kiss scene was good in my opinion. Overall, this movie was not perfect. It had its bad moments but it also had its good moments. Sairose Ronan was wonderful as the lead character and I want to read the book.
