Despite claiming a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, a gripping thriller is about to leave Netflix in just a few days.
Missing was released in 2023, with Storm Reid, Nia Long, Ken Leung, Tim Griffin and Megan Suri in the cast.
Missing, an anthology sequel to 2018’s Searching, focuses on teenager June Allen’s (Storm) panic after realizing her mother (Nia) has disappeared while on holiday with her new boyfriend.
Sensing something fishy going on, the tech-savvy youngster uses everything at her disposal to get to the bottom of her mom’s disappearance – viewers are taken on June’s rollercoaster journey as it unfolds through her various different devices.
But, if you want to watch it, you better act quickly as it is leaving Netflix US on November 19 – it is available to stream on Sky Cinema in the UK, and to rent on Amazon Prime Video.
Missing currently boasts a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 90%, compared to a critics ranking of 89%.
Millie R wrote: ‘This was a really great movie. I love how unpredictable it was, the acting is pretty good too. It kept me guessing and completely baffled me with the last twist. Absolutely recommend.’
Julian Rex M agreed: ‘Thoroughly creative while being genuinely disturbing, Missing manages as a well-contained tale that benefits from an excellent performance by Storm Reid.’
‘Loved the way they shot this film. Shows how much you and find out and see through modern technology. Amazing movie and plots twists. Stormy was fantasticccc [sic],’ Finn S commented.
Mortal praised: ‘Extremely good movie. The plot just keeps escalating and you are basically glued to the screen wondering what’s gonna happen next. Watch it [sic].
As Robert R added: ‘It’s a thrill ride! I originally thought the entire movie being shot like a screen recording would annoy me but it just impressed me. It added to the films dimension. Definitely worth a watch.’
The official synopsis reads: ‘When her mother disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June’s search for answers is hindered by international red tape.
‘However, as she digs deeper, her digital sleuthing soon raises more questions than answers.’
Storm stole every scene as concerned teen June, going above and beyond to figure out the truth behind her mom’s disappearance.
Unpacking the role in an interview with Vanity Fair, she shared that she was ‘on edge’ just as much as those watching from home, despite having the script in her hands.
‘It was exhilarating,’ she said. ‘I was on the edge of my seat and I thought I knew what was happening, but I would turn a few pages and have no idea what was going on.
‘I just feel like there’s a general misconception about Gen Z, that we’re always on our phones and that we have a short attention span and we don’t pay attention. But that isn’t true.
‘We have thoughts, we have feelings, and we are trying to be the best young people possible.
‘I can’t speak for my whole generation, but I think we are the most culturally diverse and accepting generation there has been in years. So that needs to be recognized and respected and accounted for as well.’
Missing is available to stream on Netflix now.
