Review

Living peacefully with her parents, sister, brother, an extravagant grandmother and her dog, Susie is a beautiful teenager, full of life and just about to discover love with a hunky boy from school who likes to recite Shakespeare's Othello. But on their way home from their first date, she is raped and killed by a neighboring psychopath. As she finds herself in a fabulous Eden on her way to heaven, Susie watches as her family members are gutted by her death and tortured in their daily lives. She meets another
girl, also the victim of an atrocious crime, who tells her not to look back... After gaining phenomenal success with «The Lord of the Rings», Peter Jackson returns with a dramatic fairy tale/thriller adaptated of the eponymous bestseller by Alice Sebold, that alternates scenes rich in special effects with long unbearable sequences that describe, in a particularly morbid fashion, the strategy of a madman designed to attract and kill a defenseless victim. Or: How to turn the horrible murder of a young girl into a pretentious New Age piece: simultaneously irresponsible, appalling and pitiful. Rarely has an actor's brilliant performance - here Stanley Tucci in the role of the serial killer - made a movie even more repellent.
