According to Peter Jackson, when you’re violently murdered your soul travels to a Windows XP screensaver.

oh my god so good def recommend actors killed it fr cinematographer was COOKING
Stutter with the Fedora likedThe Lovely BonesThe Lovely Bones isn't thought of as director Peter Jackson's finest work, however, this story is immensely ambitious. This film is visually stunning, well-acted, emotionally impactful, somber, and has a haunting Academy Award-nominated performance by Stanley Tucci.
Giacomo is "meh" onThe Lovely Bonesi was not excepting there to be the afterlife aspect. i’m mad they didn’t get her body and also why is she dating a senior.. and the sister is pregnant at her age⁉️
- Lo is "meh" onThe Lovely Bones
The ending ruined it for me. We literally know who the killer is the entire time & they even find her HAIR in his house and still somehow don’t arrest him? He dies bc an icicle falls on him? So annoying. Felt pretty slow to me. I liked it until the end but was overall disappoing
chez cat lovedThe Lovely Bonesone of my top three films ever so perfect and beautiful and heart breaking and scary 😘👌🏼

8.4/10
Rowie is "meh" onThe Lovely Bonesokay. maybe i would have liked this a lot more if i hadn’t read the book first. i found this movie to be too fast paced and if i hadn’t read the book i think i would have been very confused as to what was going on. i would recommend this movie to anyone who hasn’t read the book.
Julie Dolinsky lovedThe Lovely BonesMesmerizing and haunting. The visuals, the writing, the cast, and the attention to detail are exquisite. The movie omits the much darker and graphic details that are in the book but still does the story justice.

How do you literalize heaven? It's a problem moviemakers have struggled with forever, and Jackson hasn't solved it.
David Ansen
Newsweek
Jackson and his team tell a fundamentally different story. It's one that is not without its tension, humor and compelling details. But it's also a simpler, more button-pushing tale that misses the joy and heartbreak of the original.
