How to break my heart
It’s a novel turned movie, the story of Susie Salmon, murdered by a neighbor, and as a ghost, leads her family to clues to what happened to her and, at last, avenges her death. It's a horrific story wrapped in emotional healing and dealing with the pain of loss, and moving on.
The book was terrific, but the movie is a surreal beauty. Saiorse Roman was etheral as sweet Susie. Stanley Tucci, who has played warm, lovable characters such as Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada, was chilling as the serial killer George Harvey. Can't forget Wei Wei from Stick It.
One of my shorter assessments, but no less beloved.
