Film Review: The Lovely Bones
January 15th, 2010 Kam Williams Peter Jackson Epic Snuff Flick Fails to Engage Emotionally
Peter Jackson is fond of making long movies, to wit, each of his previous four films has been at least three hours in
length.
This latest one, The Lovely Bones, clocks in at a mere two and a quarter, but unfortunately feels a lot longer than that.
The movie is based on Alice Sebold's surrealistic best seller of the same name, posthumously narrated from Limbo by a 14 year-old rape and dismemberment victim as she observes the toll her death takes on her family as her killer remains free and continues to stalk other young victims.
Now an ethereal, disembodied spirit, she finds herself torn between a desire for vengeance and a hope to have her grief-stricken relatives heal.
Although the sanitized screen version spares us the gory details of her slaying, it's otherwise a faithful enough adaptation which falls short in its endeavor to distill the source material's sentimental, fantasy and suspense elements in an appealing and readily-digestible fashion.
