Empire - Unnamed
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 - Richard Corliss
When else has the obscenity of child murder been the cause of such gravity and grace?
60
Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
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 - Lisa Schwarzbaum
A sad-but-hopeful, dramatic-but-gentle fairy tale intentionally made less upsetting for teens.

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