Elizabeth is Missing Reviews
I can't speak highly enough about Glenda Jackson in this feature-length drama.

Academy Award-winning actor-turned-British politician Glenda Jackson delivers a truly memorable performance in her return to the screen.

With equal parts sensitivity and suspense, Elizabeth is Missing displays an emotional range that is sometimes uncommon in crime by interweaving it with an intensely personal drama. The result is mesmerizing.

The film is a frustrating work in that it details layers and layers of frustration on every front, but it's also simple, beautiful, and effective. Elizabeth may be missing in a tangible sense, but increasingly in her own life, Maud is too.

It's a great setup for a straightforward mystery, but "Elizabeth Is Missing" is more complicated than that, and while you can't hold that ambition against it, you might wish that you were watching something simpler.

Wrap those big puzzles around a performance as great as Jackson's and this is a tightly told story well worth checking out, even if you may need the mystery to pique your initial curiosity.

Glenda Jackson turns in a brilliant performance as a woman descending into dementia.

The slightness of the two mysteries is more than compensated for by Jackson's performance. Everyone in the cast is strong, but they're there to circle Jackson's Maud and that's as it should be.

Will leave you depressed, especially after the final scene, but happy you were able to watch the great Glenda Jackson put in a great late-in-life performance.

If this isn't 온라인카지노추천's dramatic performance of the year, it is close enough for me.

It's both emotionally challenging and entertaining, and it once again shows the range that has distinguished "Masterpiece" across the decades.

Ms. Jackson has always shown herself to be an exacting and gifted artist, but Maud Horsham is the kind of role that requires much more out of a performer than just actorly craft. And that, happily, is what we get.

Jackson is tremendous -- the walking embodiment of a desperate snarl. For as solid as the film's production is, it's hard to imagine Elizabeth Is Missing hanging together without an actor as ferociously good as Jackson anchoring it.

[It] poignantly conflates its protagonist's fraying condition with a dual murder mystery-a marriage that transforms this sterling affair into a multifaceted portrait of loss.

Superb, if harrowing.

Jackson is 83 and not diminished. Age does not wither her... Her performance cut everything away, taking us right to the emotional core of a woman who is confused, frightened, frustrated, angry, proud and some-times impossible.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 16, 2019
I found it slow and not interesting or well observed enough, and there comes a point in your life when you have to admit you don't enjoy watching old women wet themselves on the box.

The sensitivity and intelligence lavished on the set-up was squandered by a third act that was overloaded with fanciful heroics and wishful thinking.

Elizabeth Is Missing has rightly been lauded, and how could it not be, other than for nudging us towards uncomfortable truths at this oh-so-happy time of year, that grand time of manically stressed mothers and pubs crammed with amateur drinkers.

It seemed to be a sentiment shared by everyone in attendance - as was the prediction that, come awards season, the 83-year-old Jackson will no doubt be adding a clutch of trophies to her already crowded mantlepiece.
