When an 8-year-old girl disappears on Caddo Lake, a series of past deaths and disappearances begin to link together, altering a broken family's history. There's a scene the mom of Anna says Marshall County later it says Harrison County. Don’t Ever ChangeWritten by Dylan Altman, Rodney Clawson & Jake MitchellPerformed by Rodney Clawson.
However, the way they pull it off is pretty impressive
Once you figure out what's going on, the story itself after the fact isn't exactly groundbreaking. I don't think people consider enough the degree of coordination that's required to apply pacing and tone in any given film, especially when you throw in special effects and lighting potentially dependent on time of day. This movie does all of it pretty flawlessly, and creates an almost tactile momentum that carries you through.
That's usually a clear mark of competence for storytelling
While I wasn't surprised it ended when it did, not once was I looking for it or had it in mind until it was over. The final scene did feel a bit empty, though, for reasons I can't quite explain. Maybe a clearer angle of a final, knowing look from Celeste would have remedied this, but that's just a stray thought, not genuine criticism.The acting was spot on for everyone involved.
Dylan O'Brien is something of a standout
I've seen his work before but this one really let him shine. Lauren Ambrose also completely sells the manic/distressed persona and just became this person. Eliza Scanlen not once failed to sell me what was happening on-screen.
