Review of Elizabeth Is Missing

Exceptional performance from Glenda Jackson and an original dramatic treatment of the old mystery trope. an old lady's friend goes missing. The lady has dementia and must keep track of things through little notes. Superimposed are her memories of the disparition of her beloved sister in the 40s, some of it memories, some of it meshing with her real world as she sees it. Her family is understanding but doesn't believe her. Who is right, what is true? an interesting mystery as a background for a dramatic descent into mental ageing and disease, treated very thoughtfully and pathetically at the same time. I wasn't going to watch it but I got hooked within 90 seconds. Not to miss, this is BBC at its classic best.
