FantasyDrama

After being brutally murdered, 14-year-old Susie Salmon watches from heaven over her grief-stricken family -- and her killer. As she observes their daily lives, she must balance her thirst for revenge with her desire for her family to heal.

VIBE

This film feels like a hauntingly beautiful, yet profoundly sorrowful journey through an ethereal limbo. It's a visually striking, melancholic meditation on unbearable loss and the yearning for peace amidst profound grief. The experience is both unsettling and strangely hopeful, wrapped in a dreamlike, stylized aesthetic.
