What the film accomplishes for its constraints is impressive, but I'm not sure this film was for me. It's certainly better than a Lifetime movie, but it feels like fans of those types of drama are the intended audience. It's noir-lite soap opera drama.

The novelty of screenlife storytelling doesn't really suit 100+ minute narratives, even though Missing does at least most of it well. It feels like a Made for TV movie of previous era in its delivery, largely in part to the more and more ludicrous story that this limited perspective somewhat requires to keep tensions high.

I appreciate the approach and trying something new. I'm just not sure it's found answers on how to overcome such a boxed perspective. It certainly felt like a cap on the actors delivery and it stretched my patience a bit. I don't really have answers as how to improve without some fundamental changes, so I won't fault the production too harshly. Trying new things rarely sticks the landing, and this format has a lot to grow before it'll get it right.
