This Netflix movie, starring a fine young actress, is about a teenager whose mother and boyfriend never return from a trip to Columbia. She embarks on a crusade to find out what happened, and the truth is full of twists, turns, and surprises! I strongly recommend it but, if you watch it, make sure you are wide awake and alert!
Watched it last week and absolutely loved it. I thought the style of filming (everything is shown on people’s screens) would be distracting, but it really worked. I did not anticipate the big reveal.
What do you mean by this?
She is a teenager at home and everything that happened transpired remotely, so all her research, contacts and general efforts had to be done via her computer.
Yes, and cellphone screens are used to advance the story as well. Very cool technique.
Is it purely fictional, or a “based on a true story” production?
It is fictional, but the online methodologies and social media she used were accurately portrayed.
I’m not threadshitting, but I will voice a contradictory opinion. I found this movie boring and disappointing. It is a spiritual sequel to “Searching”, but I found Searching to be the much better movie. It’s hard to put my finger on it, but this movie just never grabbed me.
I did not love Searching, but it was good and if you liked Missing, you should see the movie they made before it. Everything is on screen in that one, too.
Yes! I knew there was another movie that used screens. Maybe I’ll watch it now. I started watching it but found the screen thing too much of a gimmick, so I only saw the first few minutes.
I enjoyed this movie but found the ending disappointing.
I’d ask you to elaborate, but that would be a spoiler. The whole charm of this movie is not knowing what’s going to happen next.
I really liked the style of the movie but did not like “who done it”. Felt like a weak twist, to me.
How come?
Never tweak my curiosity. My dad found that out when I was little. LOL
So basically like that one episode of Modern Family?
i watched it last weekend. i thought it was good.
