So first and foremost that mustang is my dream mustang.... now that being said here it goes: This movie would have sucked if it wasnt for the musical score! it was phenominal all the symbolism between the two worlds. In the beginning i had some trouble figuring out which sister was the older one, mainly bc Susie looks so young compared to the girl who is supposed to look 11. I really enjoyed the cinematography too 9 times out of 10 Peter Jackson does an amazing job with this. The shots were not centered at all but they were well balanced which was nice. On a funny note i really enjoy the fact that chuck taylors have survived so many decades and are still just in style as they used to be. That being said the hair and make up was great as well. The beginning with Susan Surrandon being completely put together with her hair and make-up but as the film progresses the wear and tare of raising a family that is falling apart is brilliant. By the end of the film she is completely disheveled. Susan was a light of laughter in a dark place where there was no light. Over all the acting was good bc the cast was amazing.
Saoirse Ronan did a great job. She was very believable in the role. I did feel like she and Rose McIver who plays Lindsey did lots and lots of running in the film. Mark Wallberg is always amazing he has come a long way from his days as the white rapper MarkyMark. His portrayal as a father loosing a child was very believable for me. I honestly believe my dad would act like this if I or my sister were murdered.
The scene where Susie realizes she is dead as she enters the bathroom and sees her killer in the tub was one of the most powerful scenes in the film for me. Over all i loved the film until the end. The ending absolutely sucked! Any young boy would have flipped out if his dead ex-crush was suddenly where his friend had just been. I just thought that was really lame along with how the guy died. I mean seriously? that type of stuff doesnt happen!! poetic justice sure but come on...
