The Missing
 

Reviews

“The best and toughest western since Unforgiven

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

 

“Ron Howard, the master sentimentalist, has made a dark, menacing film, a lean and disturbing western, that goes where no Ron Howard film has gone before.”

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

 

“Ron Howard’s startlingly moving drama about a broken family’s desperate search for its kidnapped daughter resurrects much of what we remember in some of the greatest westerns.”

Phil Villareal, Arizona Daily Star

 

“This is, I think, Ron Howard’s finest film, a work of complexity and maturity, underpinned by a wry humour.”

Phillip French, The Guardian

 

“In twenty years it will probably be regarded as Ron Howard’s finest film.”

Nev Pierce, BBC
