No long description of the The Lovely Bones plot yet. But we heard the movie was about the lovely bones actress lynn, the lovely bones movie, the lovely bones summary, the lovely bones trailer, the lovely bones alice sebold, the lovely bones book, the lovely bones spark notes, quotes from the lovely bones, peter jackson the lovely bones, the lovely bones characters, more or less
But it’s also about discovering something. Susie — trapped in a kind of afterlife limbo — finally finds the determination to move on. And her parents and siblings heal, at last.
At least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
Still seemingly in mystically inclined fantasy mode, Lord Of The Rings’ Peter Jackson has adapted the Alice Sebold bestseller, but whitewashed graphic references to child rape and murder. So for instance, rather than the distraught parents (Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg) confronting the horrific killing of their fourteen year old daughter Susie (Saoirse Ronan) with the discovery of skeletal remains, the police hand them her hat instead. Hopefully impressionable children in the audience won’t be misled into thinking that being hit on by a child predator on the way home from school and then escaping to a glittery heavenly realm, can be a cool adventure.
The Lovely Bones unfolds as a series of flashbacks narrated by the unfortunate Susie from her perch in the netherworld. A kind of 20th century Middle-earth overlooking an ominous 1970s suburban Pennsylvania landscape, this supernatural realm allows the departed Susie to observe and ponder, but little else. Immersed in a schoolgirl crush at the time of her death, Susie is too busy to notice the creepy reclusive neighbor (Stanley Tucci) who’s been watching her, as he prepares to methodically unleash his inner beast.
Yet Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel is often clumsy, thick-fingered work. Instead of poetry, it gives us psychedelic light shows. Instead of closure, it provides contrivance.
It’s a shame, because Jackson’s smallest, earliest success — and still his finest film — was the odd little “Heavenly Creatures,” starring a young Kate Winslet as one of a pair of obsessed teenage girls. It caught the mad fever of adolescence and was full of surreal spark.
Jackson could have used that inventiveness here.
The strange story of “The Lovely Bones” is narrated by the dead Susie, who was murdered by the neighborhood pervert (Stanley Tucci) and is now haunting her small town. She watches her family fall apart. She sees the killer smiling and nodding at his neighbors, and getting away with it.
And so Susie says to heaven, “Not yet.” Because she realizes unfinished business remains on Earth.
Ronan, the spookily ice-eyed child of “Atonement,” makes a delicate and properly otherworldly Susie, and the straightforward suspense sequences — particularly one late in the film, when her suspicious sister breaks into the murderer’s house — are top-notch.
But this is also supposed to be a film of delicate, metaphysical mindscapes. And those are nowhere in evidence. In Jackson’s view of limbo, everything has the bright, trippy colors of a head shop poster. Giant beachballs float across the sea. Gazebos appear in cornfields. A comatose Brian Eno score — it sounds like the waiting room at an aromatherapy spa — noodles in the background.
It’s a movie that needed to live in visions. Instead it dreams in kitsch. Jackson doesn’t seem to have much to contribute to his performers. There’s a sense (as there was in “King Kong,” and the epic “Lord of the Rings”) that actors are left on their own. The great ones self-direct. The others tread water.
And so Susan Sarandon — a much-needed breath of Jungle Gardenia as Susie’s eccentric grandmother — is a delightful blast of energy. Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg (who is beginning to sound like Andy Samberg’s imitation of him) is dull and obvious as Susie’s dad
Throughout the rest of the movie, Susie is intent on touching, in a myriad of mystical ways, the lives of those who were once part of her world. While her rowdy alcoholic grandma makes wildly inappropriate bids to keep the emotionally disintegrating family together, courtesy of Susan Sarandon in an elder free spirit cameo, that nearly steals the show
