Dispersa

Francesca Eastwood stars as a young lady who is reunited with to her mother and stepfather years after she was found in a forest suffering from amnesia as a little girl. She looks prettier here than in some of her previous movies.

Unfortunately the story has no twist. It's not necessary to have a twist for the sake of a twist but in this movie everything is kind of obvious from the beginning and just unfolds predictably and kind of boringly.

Not worth watching.

A girl with amnesia is found in the woods and grows up an orphan. When she's an adult, a case-worker says a woman (Kiersten Warren) claims that she's her missing daughter. Jane (Francesca Eastwood) goes to the beautiful manor where she meets the estate manager and the woman's charismatic beau (Federico Dordei). It seems too good to be true, so what's the catch?

"Girl Missing" (2015) is a crime drama/thriller involving a manor-in-the-woods, like "Cold Creek Manor" (2003), but with a story and budget closer to "Glass House 2: The Good Mother" (2006). The awesome manor itself is a highlight, which is Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, on the western tip of Lake Superior. Beautiful Francesca (Clint's daughter) was 21 during shooting and is also a highlight.

The drama is one-dimensional, revolving around 3-4 characters within the hallowed halls of the estate and grounds. Moreover, the story's kinda predictable, which is actually preferrable to eye-rolling twists.

The movie runs 1 hour, 24 minutes, and was shot entirely in Minnesota.

GRADE: B-

I enjoy Lifetime Movies, even though the majority are only worth 5 or 6 stars. It catches your attention and if you like teen drama movies, and have some time on your hands, this would be an acceptable movie to waste your time on. The movie starts off slow and confusing. The ending feels rushed. The middle covers a lot of the pieces to the puzzle but not all.

Overall, 5 stars. The actors weren't very in depth, making the movie feel a lot more bland than it could have been. Still a partially enjoyable movie. Don't assume it's horrible, because it's not, it's just slow and bland.

I absolutely loved this movie, the main character, and I love big old houses in movies too. I wish the roommate would of been in more scenes but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this one.

Mom and I decided to watch a random movie when we couldn't find anything on TV. I had picked out a few and we gave this one a try. My expectations were somewhat low, and even though I thought I'd figured out the plot early on, it held my attention the whole way through. It was so much better than I was expecting. I thought the acting was great. I liked it enough that I will probably watch it again at some point.
