      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It's stuffed full of Peter Jackson's typically dazzling imagery, but The Lovely Bones suffers from abrupt shifts between horrific violence and cloying sentimentality.

      Audience Member Stanley Tucci is terrifying in this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Beth G Heart wrenching and haunting thriller. You'll never look at Stanley Tucci the same way again. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Alberto M Some people criticize the striking contrast between pure and, I'd say, inhuman, blind violence of the killer with the loveliness of the victim, her family and other characters, I'd say this sharp contrast, that could belong to the most simplistic thrillers too, put instead in the almost surreal atmosphere of this movie is one of the things that set it apart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Wolfgang S A movie that grows better and better the more you watch it over time and years. I just don´t understand a single word any of these bad critics here are all preaching.Grow a heart, people and rewatch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Candice P Yes it's technically a very sad story. However, get past it and it portrays a very real life experience that happens every day. 10/10 must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Aniya Honestly very bad, the heaven scenes were just too much and soo extra for no reason. Such wasted potential. The story plot was absolutely amazing but of course people want to be extra and now they ruined their own movie that could've been amazing.

      Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Both [Saoirse] Ronan and [Stanley] Tucci are worth the price of an admission ticket. Rated: 2/5 Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's an interesting way to tell a heartbreaking story a young girl whose life was taken away too soon, and whose family fights to pull the pieces together after their loss. Rated: B+ Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: C Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review At once, the director is doing too much visually while not doing enough dramatically. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 28, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Brilliant performances by all involved are about the only things that remain consistent. Rated: 4/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Tucci creates a quietly masterful portrayal. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
