Ten years ago, schoolgirl Millie Brady disappeared, never to be found again. Her father was found guilty of her murder, but her body was never found. Now, Phoebe Fox, who had been her classmate, is making a film abut the girl. She goes to their teacher, Andrew Buchan, who is now a copywriter, to ask for his participation.
The third of three movies based on Håkan Nesser's collection of short stories, is not as compelling as the other two. Perhaps it is the nature of the crime that underlies this story, or the performers, or perhaps, looking at three of them in short order, or the slow, plodding way in which it uncovers and reveals the sordid situation. Perhaps I am mildly bored by similarity of technique in all three: the gorgeous camerawork, the way the silences fill in the characters and situations. In any case, it is still a well-told tale.

This film has an intriguing plot. It is very engaging, and makes you care about the characters. There are twists that you just can't see coming as well. The production is very good as well. I enjoyed it.
The movie just dragged on and on and on. There was nothing in it to hold the audience's attention.

The last of the trilogy. This one at least had more likable characters in it than the other two, which had only 1 in total - the waitress at the Intrigo restaurant who also graced this film. Must say that was a fun tidbit.
AND the darling critters that seem to be a must in these films.
The documentarian was very passive/aggressive and manipulative in getting what she wanted. Sneaky.
Yep - it's a mystery all right. And I am not the kind of person who tries to figure out who did it. I want to go with to flow and have it be revealed to me in the very end.
This is a good who-done-it. Twists, turns, interesting thoughts and people.
A good one for a rainy day.

The age old story, Henry the Literature teacher has moved on from the events on Grad Night 2008 but is brought back in by another student, now a documentary videographer, will he help or cover up? A little slow but an agreeable reveal.
I would say this is the best one out of the three as far as storylines go.
A school girl disappears. Years later a former classmate starts interviewing people that the gir knew at that time. Her father was convicted, but was he the real killer and if so where's her body?
Kinda got a feeling on which way the story was gonna go, continued watching just in case it went a different direction.
