Many people choose to watch movies on their phones or computer screens these days, but what happens when a movie is told entirely through these devices? That was the premise of Missing, a 2023 thriller that is streaming on Hulu as of November 20 and should be added to your watchlist.
Missing centers on teenager June (Storm Reid), who is left alone when her mother (Nia Long) goes on a vacation abroad with her boyfriend (Ken Leung). But when June isn’t able to get in contact with her mother after a few days she begins to worry that something bad has happened. Using the internet, apps and other technology available to her, she investigates her mother’s disappearance herself. The movie is a loose sequel to the 2018 movie Searching. It followed the same general format and Missing references the plot of Searching, but beyond that there are no direct connections between the two stories.
