Black Girl Missing

Well it's Lifetime, so you KNOW it's gonna be bad. And in that regard, it does not disappoint.

Like most Lifetime movies, the film is cheaply made, the story is rather poorly written and the execution is pretty weak. This one has the added attraction of bias.

I only put this on the see Garcelle. I had no idea who she was other than being on the Housewives show and being the type that is easily triggered.

She's not a good actress. In fact, how she has an acting career is astounding. She's juvie level.

In sum this movie isn't worth your time. The subject matter is all BS. All it does is further division.

I was bored out of my mind.

When I sat down to watch the 2023 TV crime drama movie "Black Girl Missing" from Life, I had never actually heard about it. But I had the chance to watch it, and of course I did so, as I believe all movies deserve a fair chance.

However, I will say that writer Kale Futterman didn't exactly bring about an overly thrilling or entertaining script for the movie. Sure, the topic of the movie is something that is important and need attention, but the movie itself just lacked momentum, drive and there simply was no force to its punch. And that made for a rather dull and bland movie experience.

I am not saying that the acting performances in "Black Girl Missing" were bad, because they weren't. And they actually had a good cast ensemble in the movie. It was just a shame that the actresses and actors in the movie didn't have a more fulfilling and compelling script and storyline to work with.

While watchable, then director Delmar Washington's movie "Black Girl Missing" just wasn't outstanding or memorable. When you've watched it one time, you will most likely never return to the movie a second time, simply because there is hardly enough contents to the storyline to support the first viewing.

There are far better and more enjoyable movies about abductions and kidnappings out there. "Black Girl Missing" came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression.

My rating of "Black Girl Missing" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Black Girl Missing" is a Lifetime movie that hits close to home with its poignant message and powerful acting. While the plot may be predictable at times, the film does an excellent job of highlighting important stereotypes and raising awareness about the issue of missing Black girls.

The performances in the movie are particularly strong, with the actors bringing depth and emotion to their roles. The characters are well-developed and the audience is drawn into their struggles and experiences.

What really stands out about "Black Girl Missing" is its dedication to bringing attention to the issue of missing Black girls. The film is unapologetic in its message and doesn't shy away from difficult conversations about race and the criminal justice system.

While the movie may not be perfect, it is an important piece of cinema that sheds light on an issue that is often overlooked. "Black Girl Missing" is a must-watch for anyone interested in social justice and fighting for a more equitable world.

This movie goes to show that America doesn't care about African Americans or other minority races. It's a great movie that shows exactly how we are marginalized and disregarded everyday. There needs to be more movies like this to shine a bigger light on the injustice our communities across the world have to face. It's sad how she had to do her own leg work and look for her daughter herself risking her own life in the process. It's pathetic that no one really cares about us. We have to care about ourselves and do for ourselves. Minority communities cannot go to the police for help. If it doesn't make ratings it doesn't matter. It's all about views and ratings.

Given the subject matter of this film and the overall message, I am shocked that the reviews are so harsh.

Black Girl Missing sheds light on missing persons. Always worthwhile. Additionally, this film is connected to the Black and Missing Foundation - a real organization you can look up to learn more.

There are so many stories shared every single day. Give every piece of work the respect it deserves by simply viewing it and positively reflecting on why it matters.

As someone living in Canada, I cannot fathom the population sizes of some American cities. Give the film some credit for bringing attention to a topic many seldom think about.
