What’s It About

Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it’s too late. However, as she digs ever deeper, her digital sleuthing soon raises more questions than answers.
MOVIESinMO REVIEW
Another mystery movie for the screenlife genre, and it’s a hit. In Missing, you follow the life of June Allen as a child, where it is clear she’s daddy’s little girl. Later, her dad is gone, and June and her mother are getting along as well as a mom and daughter typically do. Like the 2018 film Searching, Missing uses the same format and has no problem keeping you in suspense when June’s mother is suddenly missing. Clues are thrown at you constantly, and it’s never clear if they’re helping or hurting you in your visual pursuit of discovering what happened. The real success of this film is watching June and empathizing with her loss and confusion. The longer she tries to find the truth, the more engaging this movie becomes. More people get involved, and the story gets a lot more complicated. Before this movie ends, you will have accused every known character of the mother’s disappearance, even the mother. That’s what makes Missing such a great film – everyone is guilty AND innocent, but the truth will blow you away.
