In the small mountain town of Avechot a teenage girl has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. Inspector Vogel, a famous police detective, is called in. A suspect is identified. The clues all point to him but Vogel doesn't have any evidence. However, Vogel is not above using the media to progress the legal process.

Great crime drama. Very intriguing and unpredictable from start to finish. Many twists and turns: just when you think you have it all worked out, the plot goes in a different direction. The time-jump and multiple perspectives plot development plus a wonderfully dark and foreboding atmosphere help the intrigue and general feel of the movie.

Some great themes too, especially media intrusiveness, how it interferes with the justice process and how it destroys people's lives. There's also a great greyness to the characters: nobody is clearly 'good' or 'bad', adding to the intrigue and unpredictability.

Nothing is revealed until the very end, though here is where the movie loses some of its lustre. Writer-director Donato Carrisi tries to throw in too many twists and possible outcomes, making the ending a bit confusing and not as perfect as it could have been.

Still a great movie though.

A handsome thriller, with several familiar and welcome faces, that only really falls down at the end, which seems like twist upon twist upon twist just for the sake of surprise, with characters not acting in a believable or relatable manner. The very final twist, especially, is badly handled, with not enough investment in, or knowledge of, the character to give it any real power or meaning.

For all of that, it's still an enjoyable and engrossing watch up till then, so I don't feel I can in good conscience give it less than a 7.

A mystery thriller set in a village called Avechot, it is located in the hazy Italian mountain, there arrives a police inspector , Agent Vogel : Tony Servillo and a sub-Inspector : Lorenzo Richelmy to investigate the sudden disappearance of a 15-year-old teenager girl. The stubborn Inspector Vogel interrogates the villagers, but nobody tells the whole truth. Along the way, he meets a psychologist : Jean Reno whom eventually the inspector tells about some events.

An intriguing and riveting thriller with tension, plot twists, thrills and magnificent interpretations. There are several interesting characters, all of them are suspicious people, but in the foggy Italian village Avechot nothing is what it seems. Here stands out the great actor Toni Servillo giving a fabulous acting, as usual. This veteran actor got his big hit with The Great Beauty, following other successes as Il Divo, Silvio, Let Yourself Go, The Confessions and Into the the Labyrinth. Servillo is well accompanied by a good support cast, such as : Alessio Boni as a suspect professor, Lorenzo Richelmy as Inspector helper, Greta Scacchi as an unsettling journalist and of course Jean Reno as a psychiatrist.

It displays a thriling and moving musical score by Vito Lo Re, as well as adequate and colorful cinematography by Federico Masieroti This fascinating motion picture was compellingly directed by Donato Carrisi at his film debut, adaptating accurately his best-selling eponymous novel . Donato provides tense directorial with suspense, nail-biting scenes and surprising finale. Donato subsequently directed Into the Labyrinth 1919 with Dustin Hoffman and Toni Servillo himself. Rating : 7/10. Better than average. The movie will appeal to Toni Servillo and Jean Reno fans.

This was a beautifully crafted movie which kept me engaged all the way to the end.

However, about that end ... there were way too many twists and too many questions left unanswered. And the very last twist came from left field with nothing to substantiate it.

I was left asking too many questions.

If you want to get wrapped up in a movie and enjoy the ride, this is a good one for that. However, the ultimate destination is confusing and unsatisfying.

A crime thriller - I thought that Jean Reno would have a bigger role in this, but that aside (which should not bother you either), this is quite an intriguing story. And it will keep you guessing - there are certain things of course that are either true or false. By that I mean, if you guess one major thing correctly, it's not that you have heightened senses or anything like that - it is just one or the other, so hurray for guessing right.

Still overall the movie might wear you down with its pacing. A slow burn and a thriller that warrants more than one watch, to see if you can spot certain clues the second time around. Very fine acting and a more than decent story make this a fine watch

This Hollywood style Italian movie is not bad if you can look past some of the over the top acting.

What a great film! ''La Ragazza Nella Nebbia'' has all the elements that guarantee genuine quality entertainment, the acting is terrific, the plot is ingenious and the dialogue is top notch. Toni Servillo delivers once again an unforgettable performance in this Italian crime/thriller, while the director, who is also the screenwriter, Donato Carrisi makes an impressive debut in the film industry. This is not the typical Hollywood crime/noir film carrying all the cliches of the genre, but a meticulous character study and social commentary on the interrelationship between the judicial system and mass media. As the protagonist inspector Vogel states: ''Justice doesn't boost ratings. Nobody cares about justice''. This is a movie that demands the viewer's full attention and the reward is a brilliant finale which concludes the story of a missing teenage girl in a small Italian rural town. This film is recommended to all cinema lovers and not just those who are fond of crime/suspense stories. Make sure not to miss this Meditteranean gem!

Excellent story, acting, directing, and cinematography. It's not a flash-dash film, but is perfectly timed. Well above average on every level.

I couldnt solve it in my head even when movie was over. Really unexpected end, its not for everyone

Good Italian triller movie. We have to wait till the end to find the solution.

What a tangled web the characters spin. The second half of this bewildering Italian movie was good. The first half was slower than a wet week.

After a girl goes missing in a remote village in the Italian Alps, a renowned detective that resorts to dubious methods to apprehend his prey (Toni Servillo) is brought in to solve the possible crime. Alessio Boni plays a teacher who falls under suspicion while Jean Reno is on hand as a psychologist.

An Italian production, "The Girl in the Fog" (2017) is a psychological whodunit mystery reminiscent of films like "The Clovehitch Killer" (2018), "Lantana" (2001), "The River King" (2005) and "Snow Angels" (2007). While it's good, it's the least of these due to a TV-movie vibe where the northern Italy locations are rarely taken advantage of and the focus is on indoor sets with relative close-ups.

Another issue is the last act's explanation of everything that's going on, which takes some serious suspension of disbelief (no spoilers). The motive of the antagonist is weak, the scheme too elaborate and the coincidence of a notable person living in that area, plus linked to the case, is simply not believable.

Still, it's dramatically compelling up to that point and I liked the emphasis on the media fleshing out clues & the culprit (or, just as likely, creating a witch hunt); even the climax is clever as long as you understand that you're watching an alternative reality.

The film runs 2 hours, 8 minutes, and was shot Alto Adige, Italy. It was not dubbed in English so, if you don't speak Italian and you're an English-speaker, you'll have to use the subtitles.

GRADE: B-

A very understated and gaping film, yet very intense until the last minute and captivating. Full of twists and surprises. Haunting. Highly recommended.

More than anything else writer/director Donato Carrisi's debut feature The Girl in the Fog is a well-acted, stylishly constructed piece, laden with a moody claustrophobic atmosphere. Ironically, since Carrisi is adapting his own novel and screenplay to the screen, I think the extended storyline, back end, seemingly over-weighted with twists purely for twists' sake, is one of the weaker aspects of the production, which is set in a remote town in the Italian Alps.

Local high school student Anna Lou, a 16-year old girl, disappears, feared kidnapped. High profile detective Vogel is called in from outside the region, to oversee the investigation. He is famous/infamous for creating a wide media coverage around the cases he investigates, inwardly hoping that the generated publicity will offer him clues to solving the cases, through the efforts of either journalists,or the public. However it is revealed quite early on in the piece that this strategy has had its failures in the past, where innocents, swept up in the media storm generated by some of these headline cases, have found themselves wrongly convicted and jailed. In this case before too long new-in-town local school teacher, Loris Martini, soon finds himself chief suspect, by both Vogel and a desperately hungry for grabs, media circus.

As in the vast majority of murder mysteries, the film presents us with a veritable 'menagerie' of odd or suspicious characters. Red herrings abound through a narrative primarily delivered through a series of flash backs, outlined by Vogel to a psychiatrist, Dr Flores, who (it's never really made clear) may be attached to the local police force. This brings me to an important point. Be warned. The Girl in the Fog belongs to the curious category of intellectually ephemeral films that, the more you reflect upon them, the more their logic falls apart. There are lots of things that aren't made very clear, from why Vogel seems really happy to confide in Flores, when he is under a certain amount of suspicion for a traffic accident resulting in a fatality, to why such an ethically dubious police officer, has managed to gain such a celebrated recognition. We also learn that Vogel is so quirky and unconventional that he harbours an enduring aversion towards DNA, forensics or any other scientific ephemera (you know, the stuff that investigators actually use to solve crimes). Roll with these unlikely contrivances and later exaggerated twists however and the narrative does present as intriguingly compelling, right to the finale.

The cast is solid, starting with Toni Servillo, as the morally bankrupt, but charismatic detective Vogel, always ready for that next talking head piece to the TV cameras. Blind-siding me a little in a good way, was seeing Frenchman Jean Reno turn up, speaking Italian this time, as the fishing - loving psychiatrist Flores. It isn't a large speaking role by any means, but is crucial to the complete telling of the story. Greta Scacchi is almost unrecognisable playing a retired journalist whose 30 year long obsession with an earlier serial killer case, causes Vogel to change his thinking somewhat on his present day investigation.

The finished tale gets high marks for style and cleverness, although certainly heavily drawn from familiar sources, right down to the continually seen scale models of the tiny alpine town where the action takes place. Audiences will be unlikely to miss plentiful references to works such as Twin Peaks, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and what looks like a very similar spooky building to The Overlook Hotel from The Shining, which we see in one long take, after the fog conveniently rolls back.

Well-acted, suspenseful, dark... Surprising film-noir effort, in Italian. Rushed, confusing ending dis-credits the Writer and/or Director for their poor planning, but otherwise, worth a watch....

great movie great book the story is slightly misleading but still great this is not the Hollywood typical action movie but a movie with characters development and quality acting.The directors tells the story in a completely different manner then Hollywood movies and was more of a European style movie.Jean reno did a great job in a different role.The plot developed really well and made it more of a thinking movie then a action movie.The turns in the plot kept the film from becoming boring and the acting felt real and authentic.There are some flaws in the cinematic elements and there were some flaws in some of the plot twists but it,s still a great movie.Jean reno is a great actor

Great idea but the execution was a little lacking and. At times, confusing. The senior detective seemed a bit of a caricature, the storyline was a rather far fetched and that last scene was just plain bizarre. OK if you have time to kill, but not a priority.

Things kept happening in a complicated story but the eventual solution is beyond belief.Jean Reno stars.
