Through the Glass Darkly

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.

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.

Nothing interesting happens until over an hour later. No suspense no thrills, bad wigs. Things just happen and then the movie ends. The movie just lacked energy.

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.

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.
