The Lovely Bones (2009)
The 2009 movie The Lovely Bones is a powerful and emotional story of a young girl who is tragically murdered and watches over her family from the afterlife. While the movie is primarily focused on the emotional journey of the family, there are several sexual moments that are integral to the story.
The first sexual moment in the movie occurs when the main character, Susie, is raped and murdered by her neighbor. This scene is particularly powerful and difficult to watch, as it is a stark reminder of the reality of sexual violence. The scene is also important in that it serves as a catalyst for the rest of the movie, as Susie's death sets off a chain of events that shape the lives of her family and friends.
The second sexual moment in the movie occurs when Susie's father, Jack, begins an affair with a woman named Ruth. This affair serves as a way for Jack to cope with the grief of losing his daughter, and it also serves as a reminder of the fragility of relationships. The affair is ultimately unsuccessful, as Jack is unable to move on from his daughter's death.
The third sexual moment in the movie occurs when Susie's sister, Lindsey, begins a relationship with a boy named Ray. This relationship serves as a way for Lindsey to cope with the grief of losing her sister, and it also serves as a reminder of the power of love. The relationship ultimately fails, as Lindsey is unable to move on from her sister's death.
The sexual moments in The Lovely Bones are integral to the story, as they serve to illustrate the fragility of relationships and the power of love. These moments are also powerful reminders of the reality of sexual violence, and the devastating effects it can have on a family.

As per book narrative, by which this film is based on, the main protagonist is brutally raped and murdered; however due to the intensity of this content, much of this was omitted from the script aside from implying that the main antagonist is a child molester/rapist. It should be noted to younger viewers that the actor that played the main antagonist had a difficult time playing this role and did everything in his power to separate himself from his character and would frequently check in with actress who plays the protagonist, and make sure that she was comfortable and okay while filming their more uncomfortable scenes.
It is heavily implied that a man has raped 14 year old girl and other women (few women and some girls).
