Mystery thriller in which a father tries to track down his missing daughter.
The smart visual trickery lifts what might otherwise have been a fairly conventional thriller, but it also lets Chaganty say some interesting things about our online lives. Technophobes should stay away.
A father pores over an online trail of pixellated breadcrumbs in Aneesh Chaganty’s laptop-centred thriller about an Asian American family.
In the end, the technique feels like a red herring designed to distract attention from how corny the story really is.
Some nice moves but as shallow as YouTube celebrity.
The disappointment in an otherwise intriguing character-based drama is the extremely formulaic way it ends.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
