Reviews

Empire -
Like “The Lord Of The Rings,” The Lovely Bones does a fantastic job with revered, complex source material. As terrific on terra firma as it is audacious in its astral plane, it is doubtful we’ll see a more imaginative, courageous film in 2010.

Time -
When else has the obscenity of child murder been the cause of such gravity and grace?
|
|
Time Out -
It’s a movie that tips toward overkill--even Ronan’s voice is amplified into a weird whisper. More quiet would have helped.

Entertainment Weekly -
A sad-but-hopeful, dramatic-but-gentle fairy tale intentionally made less upsetting for teens.

Newsweek -
How do you literalize heaven? It's a problem moviemakers have struggled with forever, and Jackson hasn't solved it.
