Some scenes could have been cut. I recently lost my dad and have had dreams with him on them, I imagine it's the same way he was reaching out to me. For anyone who has not lost someone dear to them,this movie will not make that much sense but I felt what Peter Jackson wanted his audience to feel. The pain and the grief, the unknown universe we wish people who have passed are enjoying. In the end, Suzie realized what was hindering her from moving on. I wish my dad would send me a sign so I can help him move on too. I am one of the lovely bones that grow around the grief. I miss him every day.
