“Disappearance at Clifton Hill” keeps you in its grip in large part thanks to Middleton’s strong lead. Her performance is raw and organic, always working at the right temperature.

Rated: 4/5

There was some good suspense and twists and turns, but the plot was a mess. Trying to follow what exactly was going on was difficult. The ending made no sense at all. It was not great. Not worth wasting your time.

2.5 stars; I guess Canadian Film Noir is an acquired taste. I just didn't get it. "The Maltese Falcon"..... it wasn't.

Weirdness can be good.. however over-cook it and you can slide quickly into daftness...

The plot is off in so many directions it did not hold my interest. Too bad, as when I was up to speed, it changed yet again.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Tight noir film that keeps you guessing the whole time. Appearance by David Cronenberg is a strong +++.
