    Good actors and all, but a very slow movie that isn't very captivating. Trying to rely on audience scores but this one is a bust. A couple interesting twists, but mostly boring conversations and snail pace plot. It actually seemed like a really interesting movie at the start, but failed to keep a good rythm. Some characters and scenes were over the top and alot of the film just felt unrealistic.

    A mourning mother a lonely soul brought to life flawlessly by Robyn Lively. Story is immersive and heartbreaking but with all the excellent work it's message is on toxicity of prejudices and that lives flourish in places unheard of when blessed with love.

    A year after her daughter's disappearance in Elrod, Georgia, another local girl goes missing and Charlie (Robin Lively, The Karate Kid Part III, Lana Milford from Twin Peaks) is convinced that there is a connection. The only bad part? The police and community believe that Charlie is guilty of this new abduction. Originally known as Through the Glass Darkly, this is the full-length directorial debut of Lauren Fash. She does a great job at balancing the Southern gothic and stranger in a strange land dynamics of this movie in very subtle ways. The real villain of this piece may as well be the town of Elrod. While she's wary of the reporter in town trying to get her first big story, Georgia is smart enough to know how to use her to get the information that she really wants. Yet everyone in town seems to know more than they should while also believing that our protagonist is the cause of all of her own — and so many others' — challenges.
