Chicas perdidas

Based on true events, Chicas perdidas (2020) touches on the wider story of the Long island serial killer, who, to date has not been identified.

As a film it was very good, and anyone with any empathy for others will be drawn into the mothers desperate search to find her daughter.

For myself, the most poignant part of the film was the end. The incredibly selfish act of taking someone's life for your own 'pleasure', or self protection, is beyond the lowest of the low, but the domino effect such a cowardly and moronic act has upon that person's family makes it even worse, and this is very much the case for Mari Gilbert (the mother of Shannan).

Recommended for those who enjoy films based on true events, true crime and mystery.
