Missing (I) (2023)
7/10
Lost me at WhatsApp.

I wasn't really buying into Storm Reid's character being such a multi-tasking online sleuth with so many easy and convenient online access options bypassing so many security standards. Even the story, albeit nothing revolutionary except for the way it was told mostly via screenlife format, had way too many plot and technical issues in the writing. Also, maybe due to the inexperience of the filmmakers to direct their cast properly, I only found Joaquim de Almeida as Javi to be the most believable character, then in a distant second place, Nia Long as Grace. Even with the decent pacing that made the 111 min runtime fly by, most of the screenlife shots were happening too fast for us to figure out what was actually going on. Nevertheless, it was still a unique way to tell a story and it was suspenseful for the most part.
