Quotes Detective Scieziesciez : Once there was this Kat Connor : What? User reviews 91 Review. Top review. Holds your attention Takes you nowhere! This movie was more about a teenager's obsessing with her breasts and sex ,then about her missing mother!
Her mother's missing and given their history she assumed mom left dad, meanwhile all she can think about is sex with the detective that's on the case of her missing mother, and screwing her boyfriend who no longer desires her , which we find out why later on in the movie. For the movie to supposedly be about a woman gone missing it sure did not focus on it.
It focused more on the girl coming of age and her desires, if that's the case it should have been titled A Coming of Age ,college years later she's literally sitting around her friends before she actually gets the idea that maybe, just maybe her mom didn't run away after all, maybe something did happen to her? Maybe dad is responsible? Just for her friends to tell her hey, we've been telling you that for years now! Really Columbo? Details Edit. Release date September 25, United States.

It's Seventeen year old Kat Connors Shailene Woodley has a seemingly perfect suburban life from the outside. She belittles him all the time and then she vanishes. Detective Scieziesciez Thomas Jane investigates but there are no leads. Kat seeks affections from her dumb boyfriend Phil from across the street and help from her psychiatrist Dr. Thaler Angela Bassett.
This is part coming-of-age movie and part mystery. The most important word is part. This is partly good. Shailene Woodley is a winning actress and she keeps interest in the movie. The mystery part is pushed aside for the first hour and then it lays an obvious big clue right in the face of the audience. For the first hour, I keep waiting for Kat to start looking into the mystery but she does everything except that. After the big giant clue, the story stops to be a mystery and I'm waiting for Kat to see the big flashing neon sign.
It's a complete fail as a mystery but Shailene is still a compelling actress. There are a couple of twists at the end but it's a bit too late. Based on a novel by the same name. One day Eve Connor Eva Green disappears. The story centers on her daughter Kat Shailene Woodley who is unaffected by her disappearance.
The father Christopher Meloni is upset. The tale takes place during those obscure years between the 80's and 90's when the Depeche Mode empire crumbles and Grunge hasn't taken hold. We get insights into Kat's mind as she has flashbacks when she talks to a psychologist Angela Bassett.
She also has two confidants: an obese girl Gabourey Sidibe and a gay teen Mark Indelicato. More insight is provided by her dreams where her mother appears. Kat, we discover loves sex The title of the feature, like Kat's dreams are oozing with symbolism and metaphors, some of which I missed.
There is a picture of a blizzard scene in the living room which the camera lands on for a few seconds. I decline to mention my views of the symbolism as it would be a plot spoiler. There is a twist that does have soft clues which I overlooked. Kudos to you if you figure it out. The film was well acted and a must for those who love quirky indie dramas laced with humor.
Things can be hidden or locked away, even though they are apparent to some. Some people see or know where a movie or story is going because they see the signs and read them right. I didn't know where this was going and have to admit, I really liked it.
