Through the Glass Darkly

I generally watch only movies which have a rating of 6.0 and above so I thought I'd give this movie a go.

It certainly has its twists and turns in the movie which I enjoyed especially if you are trying to work out how the movie will play out. Its hard to predict at times. Not A listed stars acting in the film, but felt they played a good role. Looking for a missing child is the main aspect but there is more to the story which is revealed during the movie. Its on amazon prime under the name of "disappearance at lake elrod."

If you like twists and turns in movies, this movie is definitely for you. It's nothing special hence my rating is only 6, but worth a watch.

Blake Lively stars as Charlie. Her young daughter went missing a year ago and there is still no trace of her. Charlie believes she is not getting help from the police because she is in a lesbian relationship.

Charlie is having trouble remembering things. The medication she is taking makes her see things that aren't real, and soon she finds it difficult to distinguish between reality and her visions. When another young girl, Elodie Carmichael, goes missing, she is convinced there is a connection, and a conspiracy going on in town. All evidence point to Trip Carmichael (Michael Trucco), but Charlie herself becomes a suspect.

This mystery thriller is a bit slow moving and also not quite as interesting as I would have liked it to be. It is a heartbreaking story of loss, longing, heartache, and illness. The climax is a bit confusing, though. 'Through the Glass Darkly' is a well made film with good performances, but I doubt I'm going to remember it.

Picked this up in the supermarket regrettably. A slow-burning suspense thriller you'd say but disappointing. The opening ten minutes or so looked promising and after that lacklustre. Too much screen time for the lead plain Jane, overly pushed accents got in the way, voiceover from the head somewhat off-putting.

You get up to the first sherif scene and it's silly. Bar scene after laughable. Poor editing throughout, aimed for eerie and mysterious yet didn't come off and so cinematically not good. Just too much wrong with the execution from the actors and the director.

Also, is the lead meant to be with the other younger woman or what because that wasn't very interesting either. Queue more annoying characters, some flashbacks, just a no from me.

A guilty pleasur of mine, is watching those made-for-televeison moives that are aweful but for some reason you can't stop watching. These come on more often on Lifetime, which my wife will sometime binge watch and I'll pretend to be disintrested, but sometimes get hooked into one along the way. This is what this movie reminded me of. I think I only recognized 1 actress as that I didn't know much about Robin Lively before watching, the actress who played the villian's mother was on designing women a long time ago (another guilty pleasure).

It's about a woman despreate to find her duaghter who had gone missing years ago. When another daughter goes missing the mother is sure (as a gut feeling only) that there is a connection.

Sounds like a made for television movie, there aren't any big named actors in it and the writing is just ok, but theres a bit of a twist that makes this movie more interesting that I won't give away here.

I say watch it. If you don't like it, you can always turn it off.

Low-budget yes, but I was interested in the story and its conclusion. I felt the direction was good, and the actors did their jobs well. There is a plot twist half way through, but really the film is half whodunnit, half straightforward thriller.
