Reviews
|
New York Post -
Rising star Michael Shannon makes a riveting shamus hired to chase a runaway husband in the quiet but resonant little noir The Missing Person.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Overly fussy and self-conscious in its noir details. But in The Missing Person, Buschel makes striking use of the Mike Hammer/Philip Marlowe tradition.
|
|
The New York Times -
Sluggish, stylized and frequently washed in a bilious green tint, The Missing Person is yet oddly irresistible.
|
|
Time Out -
It’s Shannon’s slow, steady world of hurt that makes the film watchable.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Despite honoring noir genre conventions, Buschel also draws upon his fertile imagination in dialogue and in storytelling that allows his film gradually to accrue meaning.
