She's Missing

Some times some low rated movies are good for a Saturday afternoon when the ball game is rained out. Bright spot Lucy Fry.. A beautiful talented Australian actress. The main reason I watched this mess.

The other actors are talented, in fact the movie has a good cast. I have no idea what the writer were thing. In fact the writer and director are the same person. All I know, is that I never want to be on what ever she is on..

I understand the movie is about a girl searching for her best friend, but it is disjointed, rambles and makes no sense.

If you like looking at Lucy Fry or Eiza González; a beautiful talented Mexican actress don't bother watching. Watching rain fall on a baseball diamond is better than watching this mess.

How can a director get things so bad with such a good cast??? It's the proverbial question when people go on quiz shows and clearly do not have an understanding of trivia let alone knowledge. This film shows that the director has basically seen the same film over and over again, nothing new at all and no ability. Ooooh look, petulant, misunderstood young girls either madly dancing or sitting in a circle with other equally drugged girls angry at everything, nope never seen that before. Drama it is not, dross it is, take note Irish Film Board, parents and husband ability does not equate to all family members being talented.

Heidi (Lucy Fry) and Jane (Eiza González) are best friends in the American west. They're waitresses. Heidi works in a small diner and Jane works at the casino. Jane gets married and then one day, she goes missing.

It takes 40 minutes before Jane goes missing. That's too long and the start is a bit slow. While there are interesting scenes along the way, the ending is somewhat disappointing. I get leaving it unresolved to an extent. There are more compelling ways to do it. I also kept waiting to go out to a mine. The adventures could be more adventurous. Overall, the movie is too slow and it needs to take more risks.

A lovely portrait of life in a classic American west tradition. It's nice to see more of a 60s head trip film that also makes a real connection to its characters. I loved it!

Watch for 30 minute and "missing" part still not come up, too blah and boring at the beginning. If I finish, maybe lower my rating.
