Slightly different type of obsession here where a couple who lost their young girl after she goes missing thinks that this young teacher 20 years later is her.
Starts off fairly plausible then gets far fetched as they go psycho and kidnap her.
Why didn't she just some DNA?
Anyway it's not unwatchable but not great either.

It is a bit slow in starting but slowly became very interesting. Good acting with entire cast and well directed. It is always amazing to me how most of the female performers in many of these films look alike that it's hard to tell them apart. Long hair over the shoulders, parted in the middle and hanging. Sometimes we get a break and there is an actress with short hair, styled and having body. But I am being picky. I gather this is the style these days. Still their work is excellent.
The movie was extremely naff. Only about 10 mins of the movie was actually relevant. The sound quality was shocking, budget must've been really low. I feel sorry for the actors to be honest, the ending was also extremely disappointing but what should've I expected with such a crap movie. Very disappointed, can't believe Netflix would even consider showing this. Is this really the sort of content I'm paying a £7.99 subscription for?
Nothing happens until the movie is about 70 minutes in. you can watch the first 10 minutes to learn who the characters are then fast forward to the end. Awful.
You wouldn't know this when watching the film but apparently this is based on actual real life events. If that's the case although the characters are believable, the acting is decent and things become interesting, this film lacks a bit of depth in places. I didn't like that there is inconsistencies. For instance a school with seemingly only one teacher and it's apparent the budget wasn't great or the research wasn't done well. As you'd expect the usual tense and predictable drama unfolds, usual psycho possessive mother figure and well this I found strangely predicable. The lead role who plays Michelle is a very good natural performer. But yeah perhaps because of there being so many films like this out there at the moment you'll want to avoid this.
