The Girl with No Name

We like Kabby Borders and she did a really good job in the lead in this movie. She played the role well and her emotions fit the scenes to a T. The music fit the film much better than most of the other LMN movies we have seen lately, so many of them have music that is just irritating. The script was good and it kept our attention throughout. The cast was well chosen and did a good job. Storyline was good and, although we had some suspicions, we did not catch on to all the bad people until near the end. This one is definitely worth a watch. It's a top notch 2024 offering from LMN. Hopefully there will be more of them.

It started off well, but took a strange turn, we all hope it wouldn't. That sweet girl, was short charged in this film unfortunately. They had the chance to do something special and they fumbled that beautiful talented minority girl.

Black girls, always try to help others. Why portray her like that? What was the intention? They don't participate in breaking up marriages and hurting other women. Next time don't make it seem as though minorities behave so negatively against others. Let them be a good friend or lead. Give them a good man and don't pretend they are like this. It's weird, inappropriate and very inaccurate. Yikes!!

The acting was so bad. It honestly feels like you tube shorts with community actors. The story was so forced and unrealistic. I kept checking how much time we had left to watch and decided to finish watching because I had to see just how bad it could get.

I was excited to watch it at first because I love true crime. The main character is so bad in this role that she it was hard to emotionally connect to her or feel bad for her.

The plot and twists were so completely obvious I thought it was a parody mocking true crime enthusiasts.

On top of the acting, the film quality and lighting are off. Honestly l, I'm extremely disappointed in this movie. I have come to expect better quality from Netflix.

The lead actress is just awful, doubt she even took a single acting class. Nothing about her acting was convincing, it was very hard to try & connect with her & get invested in the movie. Some of the other actors weren't that great either, it felt like we were watching an amateur theatre production. I wouldn't recommend any movie this actress is in, my friends and I kept giggling at her lack of acting abilities. She couldn't cry, act sad, shocked or happy...& when she "tried" it was comical & all around terrible. I only finished the movie to see how it went off. I should have skipped to the last 20 minutes. Don't waste your time.

First things first...if this was on Hallmark the rating would be higher. Much higher.

What I liked:

1) Really good acting. I cannot stress enough how surprisingly solid the acting is. Top to bottom.

2) Really interesting twists in the mystery itself. No spoilers...but I will say you will be surprised.

3) Decent script with some really emotional moments. The good acting helped.

What I didn't like:

1) Act 3 was a bit of a mess, especially a ten minute stretch towards the start of it. Lots of plot holes.

2) Really bad cinematography. Some of the worst I've ever seen. Bad and inconsistent lens filters. Washed out look that felt cheap. Weird shot framing. For example, shots felt too zoomed in during character dialogue.

But overall this was a really solid cozy mystery. If you're into this sort of thing, ignore the rating and take a look.
