Based on Alice Sebold’s novel, this film follows Susie Salmon, played by Sairose Ronan, a young girl who is murdered and stuck in the afterlife watching over her family and her murderer. The film did a middling performance. In a series format, the storyline of Susie’s afterlife journey and her family’s quest for justice can be developed simultaneously, providing a perfect pace and depth to the characters.
