Missing

A milestone in the computer screen thriller genre and a unique masterpiece with an instant contender for Thriller of the Year. Searching was already a hit, but Missing enriches this subgenre even more and creates a clear cult-classic potential. Combine the best true crime documentaries from Netflix, give it a load of twists and turns with a touch of Oriol Paul, the uncomfortable and oppressive atmosphere of the best thrillers, all the apps of today's world and you'll come out with a tasty thriller cocktail that will make you shiver and hold your breath like never before. A young girl starts searching for her mother who hasn't returned from Colombia and starts an investigative and intelligent show that piles up one twist after another. Your theories will be twisted every 5 minutes, that's what I call a decent fuck you to the viewer, you don't see that kind of clever tug of war in Hollywood these days. Each new twist is more bizarre than the last (I was physically uncomfortable at times, imagining what was really going on). It oozes authenticity and you really get the feeling that this really happened, which is an excellent calling card. The main character's acting is very good and she handles the PC to a tee, so everything is spot on. The film also has an excellent pace, it manages to keep the viewer's attention to the maximum, the atmosphere is riveting and uncompromising, they don't coddle the viewer here (it's filmed in a style where they don't care if you faint or have a heart attack in the living room, they simply won't spare you). A film that, when it's over, immediately starts to resonate in your head and makes you want to watch it again to catch all the details and enjoy the experience even more. This year with Babylon and Creed 3 the strongest five star. 10/10. (16/03/2023)
