Your favourite movie and what's it about

The lovely bones.

It's about a girl named susie salmon, like the fish who is murdered within the first ten minutes of the movie and she's the narrator who sees both what is going on in her world and in the world she left  behind. She's in a place called the in between and she can't move on until she gets closure. Meanwhile her family are trying to find out what happened to her and who killed her.

It's a pretty dark movie, I'll agree and I would not recommend it to impressionable children but it's so good. You know the killer and how he kills the victim but the story line still manages to capture your attention. The book is way more graphic but the movie did a very good job of portraying what went on without to much detail because it's gory. It's definitely a thirller that will have you at the edge of your seat. The movie does tackle some heavy subject matter but with grace and fluidity like very few movies have. The screenplay is also excellent and casting is on point.

If you like thrillers and are above the age of thirteen and don't mind heavy subject matter (it's not that heavy just at times and it's mostly implied so if you don't get it then you don't) then I highly recommend this movie. It's amazing.
