The lovely bones,this movie justifies the definition of family bounds,love and danger. The dangers of the world which can corrupt a family home despite best efforts to pull through,personally i was engrossed by the film during the whole duration of it showing. The representation of the land known as "limbo" where Susie remains until her murderer is brought to justify is fascinating its diverse colours and camera effects set distinctive mood reflecting what Susie is feeling at that current time. Also what i adore is the power of love a sister can possess,she knew there was something wrong and pursued to save Susie and to capture her killer,However my own downside of the movie was the murder's death,personally I was ready for a heated fight to the death,yet the director went for a subtle death which in fairness can be appreciated due to the fact he dies alone with none to care,a death such an evil villain deserves.Therefor overall I would rate this movie a 5 out of 5 due to its dramatic yet touching story line which will bring tears to anyones eyes yet with a fulfilling ending of justice and comfort for the family who lost Susie so tragically.
