Through the Glass Darkly

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.

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.

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.

I love a good indie thriller but this one was mediocre at best. It did not live up to the online review hype.

Not bad acting is lacking for this type of movie that relies on the heavy carrying the emotion. Also to long and never really pulls you in.

Keep searching for that next flick to watch imo..

One of those movies where the time-line gets altered and they try to fool you. Then everybody is shocked by the ending cause they lied to you throughout the film. Besides that, it's a good film. One girl goes missing and when a 2nd one goes missing things get interesting. Small town politics and very inappropriate behavior is the basic theme. 5.6 out of 10.
