The Lovely Bones

Peter Jackson directs this emotional drama based on the bestselling novel by Alice Sebold. Saoirse Ronan stars as Susie Salmon, a 14-year-old girl who was brutally raped and murdered in 1973 by a family neighbour, George Harvey (Stanley Tucci), and now watches over both her family - parents Jack and Abigail (Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz), sister Lindsey (Rose McIver) and her Grandma Lynn (Susan Sarandon) - from heaven, trying to find ways to communicate with them how to find her hidden body and solve the ongoing mystery of her death. She also watches her killer who - having hitherto successfully avoided conviction - is preparing to murder again.
