At the high ratings this film has gotten. It's scary if you are eleven and intense and intriguing if you are fourteen. I don't get it. I prsume these ratings are coming from a younger audience because you've seen it all before. Moss was an odd choice for lead as she isn't easy to look at and the role didn't require massive acting chops to support the story.

A lot of people will go see it for a fresh spin on the story but the old and jaded should just stay home and dodder around.

I'm also flummoxed at all the high ratings. Possible explanations: plays to the #metoo ethos--- and it stars Elizabeth Moss, perhaps the hottest actress of-the-moment.

Typical of Hollywood films, there were WAY too many killings beyond what was necessary.

The husband was forgettable and hardly any sort of foil for her.

well, I don't know what they did with it OR if she plays the title role in some stupid sort of juxtaposition, but that reads odd.

That said, Claude Rains rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, back to doddering...

  for a chilling account of yes, yet another disappeared teen.
  
  But this one (2017) stars Toni Servillo ("The Great Beauty") and he creates a very strange, post-modernist detective. It truly is a bizarre characterization, with the aging detective sometimes oddly detached from the goings-on, but at other times intense and overpowering.
  
  Of course, the few possible plot resolutions have been exhausted long before this film, but that's not the point of this film. Frankly, I had a hard time locating one, but I enjoyed the search.
  
  For those who like mucho violenca, this won't do it for you. If, however, you want a more cerebral--- though by no means Agatha Christie-ish--- experience, cue this one up. I got it through my local library and I suspect you'll also find it at yours.
  - Amazon Prime has it as well. - PhilJ 08:29:31 03/02/20 (2)
