About this movie

When 14-year-old Susie Salmon was murdered, she left her unfinished life behind. But now from her place in a strange but beautiful in-between world, she must help her father catch her killer and protect her family before she can finally move on. Filled with thrilling suspense, hope and the redeeming power of love, it's "One of the best films of the year. Incredibly powerful." -- Harry Knowles, Ain't it Cool News

Ratings and reviews

This style is not for everyone, i loved it..i know im not alone. If slow and moving is not your thing, enough said. If you enjoy deep and meaningful, if you are the walk on the beach type more then the jump out of planes type...you may well love this moving, powerful, subtle movie.

Stay away. It's dull, you could drive a bus through some of the plot holes, and you'll end up feeling completely unsatisfied with the whole experience.

i watched this a third time!! one of my favourites. I really loved the way the movie displayed purgatory in a creative/surreal way. So intense and emotional and tearfully touching in some scenes due to its beauty. Simply amazing
