About this item
Product Description
Koji Fukada's followup to the critically-acclaimed Harmonium (also available from Film Movement), A Girl Missing is a satisfying slow-burn drama expertly told (Screen Daily). Ichiko is a private home-nurse who has worked for the elder matriarch of the Oishos for years and regards them as her own family. Ichiko's quiet, routine life is shattered when a young member of the Oishos clan is kidnapped. When it is revealed that the kidnapper is none other than Ichiko s nephew, her life begins to unravel in this taut thriller from one of Japan s current cinematic masters.
Bonus features include Making-Of featurette and short film Love Comes Later.

A deft and absorbing multi-pronged tale about a kind, hard-working woman whose life becomes a morass of collateral damage, A Girl Missing is a satisfying slow-burn drama expertly told. - Lisa Nesselson, Screen Daily
Reuniting with his Harmonium (2016) lead Mariko Tsutsui, Fukada creates another emotionally palpable tale about perspective. Expertly acted and with a dual-pronged narrative as equally well choreographed.... - Nicholas Bell, Ion Cinema Much like his Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Prize winner, A Girl Missing unspools as a revenge drama homing in on people paying a price for their kindness, a tale of family disequilibrium with Mariko Tsutsui already seen in Harmonium serving as a magnetic lead. --Leonardo Goi, The Film Stage
One of the film's many pleasures lies in Fukada s specific rhythms of the mysteries of storytelling, offering little clues along the way but keeping more of a focus on his lead character and her emotional wavelength. - Jordan Raup, The Film Stage There s no denying the seductive powers of A Girl Missing, which gestures at the rot beneath the surface of politesse in the way Japanese society deals with criminality and taboo. - Beatrice Loayza, AV Club Lead Mariko Tsutsui (also of Harmonium) is haunted here, delivering a performance that's affecting even when we're in the dark about what her character is thinking. --John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
