Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

llVIU I think the movie is OK at showing how desperate the situation gets, when parents and the police just search and search and search... and search... and search some more, and still cannot find any useful clues to the wereabouts of the missing kids. It gives the sense of hopelessness, of being lost and not knowing what to do. Shows how frustrated people can get. I don't want to spoil it too much, my rating says it clearly... it's an OK movie.

Patient_Leech The film starts with a peaceful and perfectly ordinary celebration among a couple families and their kids. But when two girls go missing the tension slowly builds leaving the audience wondering without actually seeing what happened to the girls, so the audience identifies with the characters as the clues unfold. And the opening of the film has many obvious religious symbols and references that foreshadow some later reveals, but it doesn't become heavy-handed.With perfect casting the mystery unfolds and eventually the true perpetrators are revealed with a well-written and satisfying conclusion. The film actually operates at least partially as a comment on morality, how far is it really okay to go in order to find kidnapped victims and in the final act it also is a meditation on what it means to believe in God or not, especially for the fully committed believer. In the Bible Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice his son, but is that really a reasonable thing to accept as a test from a God? What if God mercilessly and pointlessly took your child? What possibly lesson is there to be learned from such torment?Or maybe there is no ghost in the sky and the universe is just indifferent. Great film from a stellar filmmaker, Denis Villeneuve. If you liked Arrival and Sicario, then you'll enjoy this. Highly recommended.

Majikat An intense film with a most memorable powerhouse performance from Hugh Jackson. The best acted film I've seen in a long while, gripping to the very end!A must see!
