I’ll take a bold if misshapen curiosity such as this over safe Hollywood fare any day.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Sacrifices suspense and narrative coherence for moody atmospherics and hallucinatory visuals. Uninvolving to the extreme, She's Missing misses the mark entirely.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
She’s Missing is slow and dreamy and frustratingly opaque. Yet it has a potent sense of place and an ominous atmosphere of impermanence.
McGuiness, the daughter of U-2 impressario Paul McGuiness, got Irish Film Board money to make this, and that was money flushed down an Irish drain. Whatever she was getting at, she doesn’t really get at it. And if you’re here looking to unravel “What this was all about,” I feel your pain.
This striking drama vividly captures the sense of uncertainty of transient lives, but loses power in a final act which gets somewhat mired in hallucinatory dream logic.
