Missing (I) (2023)
6/10
computer screen thriller

Warning: Spoilers
June Allen (Storm Reid) still misses her father James who died when she was a child. It's years later. Her mother Grace and her boyfriend Kevin are going to Colombia. When they don't return, June uses all her computer skills and dogged determination to find her missing mother.

This movie mostly takes place on the computer screen or the screen of a smart phone. It's far from the first movie to do this. Sometimes, this gimmick works. The novelty is no longer there, but this one does work. I really like the twists. For sure, I like the big one. The movie does need to switch over to regular filming after he shows up at her home. The last section needs to be kinetic and a computer screen is not the best for that. They do all the tricks to keep the screen moving. I just think that the last section could be where non of the tech works and we're left with IRL.
