John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter A low-key showcase for Fukada's returning collaborator Mariko Tsutsui. Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 2/4 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 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. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Andreea Patru Vague Visages 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. Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “A Girl Missing” ends up being both fascinating and frustrating. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Lawrence Garcia In Review Online [Fukada] might have done well to take a page from the media folk that he so single-mindedly vilifies: When the story isn't good enough, rewrite the narrative.

isla s 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
