A low-key showcase for Fukada's returning collaborator Mariko Tsutsui. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 07/31/2020
2/4
There's a strong performance at the center that keeps it moving as Fukada rations out the story twists, but what's missing here is a radical restructuring of a frustrating screenplay. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 07/30/2020
Only by paying close attention to the lead character's changing hairstyle and wardrobe can we follow the story's convoluted crescendo of thwarted passion and unadulterated rage. Go to Full Review Andreea Patru Vague Visages 12/06/2023
Fukada effectively develops a multifaceted character by transforming Ichiko from a collateral victim into an accomplice. A Girl Missing highlights the importance of knowing when to speak up and when to stay silent. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/19/2022

isla s 09/03/2022 This is a strange one. The story is intriguing, domestic and relatively sad but I'm not sure I followed all the details. The characters are interesting and its a well made film - its somewhat thought provoking. Yes, if you like Asian films like this then I'd say its worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
