Missing (2023)

"A messier, familiar, but thrilling sequel to Searching."

"(An) exciting techno-mystery..."

"Missing isn’t ever an upgrade over Searching despite its more tech-savvy confidence..."

"(Missing) tries to capitalize on the immediacy of the screen-based thriller but ultimately looks silly..."

"A pulsating and alarming story."

"Cleverness is what Missing has going for it — which makes it all the more noticeable when it runs out."

"The film gives viewers plenty of time to think about the countless ways it doesn’t make sense."

"By the time Missing reaches its truly terrible ending, the feeling is one of programmed exhaustion rather than catharsis."

"Superbly constructed and satisfying..."

"Fairly engaging..."

"It’s entertaining enough to show that this particular series does have more battery life."

"A worthy addition to the screenlife genre, thanks to a tight script, solid performances, and innovative cinematography."

"A delightful surprise..."

"It pulls off the impressive narrative highwire act but includes a couple twists too many..."

"A really interesting experiment in style."

"A tight, taut mystery with incredible acting..."

"There’s some pleasure in a brains-over-brawn quest that flatters us to fancy that we might be clever enough to solve it ourselves..."
