Bedømmelser og anmeldelser

Superb acting all round - an interesting exploration of why a murdered girl does not go to heaven while her murderer is still undiscovered and her family are unable to cope with the loss.

Alice Seobold has been cancelled! Racist scumbag who put away a innocent man, to a justified career built on lies!

A hauntingly beautiful film , undeserving of the bad reviews. Evocative dealing with murder from the point of view of the victim, the deceased and her relatives without gore and sensationalism, The narrator, a young teen helps us to explore the emotions and feelings of the bereaved as the film explores the different pathways each character takes to come to terms with their grief. In the end the killer himself died accidentally, or was it? Throughout the film, ice, snow and icicles abound in symbolism at significant points in the story and most fittingly at the end.
