From the minds behind Searching comes Missing, a thrilling roller-coaster mystery that makes you wonder how well you know those closest to you. When her mother (Nia Long) disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June's (Storm Reid) search for answers is hindered by international red tape. Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it's too late. But as she digs deeper, her digital sleuthing raises more questions than answers...and when June unravels secrets about her mom, she discovers that she never really knew her at all.

Critics Consensus: Missing can strain credulity in its efforts to keep the audience guessing, but a fast pace and relatable fears keep this twisty techno-thriller from completely losing its way.

The format means there’s no room to hide, and Reid is talented enough to excel in a role that requires her face to be on screen for the best part of 90 minutes; to hold your own against veterans like Long and Almeida is no mean feat.

The imagery is fiendishly clever, sending a terrific cast spiralling through a series of mind-boggling twists and turns. But as involving as the movie is, the plot completely disintegrates if you take a moment to think about it.

Missing does unleash some mighty big twists and turns, at points stretching the very credulity it successfully builds overall, and maybe having one reveal too many, but – despite threatening to – it never comes off the rails...

The inventive approach and the frantic energy of the storytelling elevate the picture above its slightly gimmicky formal device, though this film lacks the novelty value that made Searching such a talking point.

As a nosey parker riff on the dating history of your parents, the film has a clickbaity kind of appeal...
