The lovely bones is a beautiful sad movie but sadly focusing on something that happens to often! The writer of the books shares some personal feelings with the movie, I think it brings a light to THE EVILS of life, If you have ever went through kidnapping, sexual violence I would recommend watching with a friend and not by yourself, the movie goes slowly but in the 3rd part of the movie, things start happening. The actress is great and did an amazing job portraying her.
