Maman disparue - l'histoire vraie de Jennifer Dulos

I can't stop watching and searching for any updates on this case. I feel like taking a year off from work to find her body. How about Folis' sister? Has her property been searched? Praying they find her so her family can rest in peace. Another search I would like them to do is the properties where he was working at the time? Can she been buried under cement like a basement? Driveway? I wonder if the investigators in Connecticut are like the ones in the movie with Eddie Murphy in Beverly hills cops. I can't understand how her body is still missing unless there is complete incompetence in the police and investigative force. Where are the updates.

Based on a true story, Jennifer Dulos, an Ivy League-educated mother of five and an aspiring writer living in a gated mansion in tony New Canaan, Connecticut, seemed to lead a charmed existence. Her enviable lifestyle was cushioned by a substantial trust fund. Behind that comfortable life, she was far from happy.

Jennifer vanishes after dropping her kids off at school. It didn't take long for all suspicions to point to her charming, if mercurial, ex-husband, real estate developer Fotis Dulos, with whom she had been in the midst of a contentious divorce and custody battle. But shortly after being charged with her murder in January 2020, Dulos committed suicide. Jennifer still hasn't been found.

This is all depicted well in a fairly gripping thriller that doesn't have the campiness and farfetchedness usually prevelant in a Lifetime production. It's well-acted by all. A bit slow and flat in places, but it's intriguing enough to make those points not too much of a viewing hindrance.

Gone Mom is completely intriguing from the first minute. I kept wondering what was next throughout. I enjoy Lifetime movies to varying degrees but THIS ONE was a standout, Annabeth Gish was perfectly cast in the leading role. She was believable and strong throughout. The actor who played the husband was also very good. It made me anxious and nervous wondering what was next. I would recommend it to anyone.

When I was in 2nd grade, Jennifer Dulos went missing. The Dulos family lived in my town, and I knew the family. All 5 of the Dulos children went to my school, one of them was in my class. We were very good friends. I remember everyone being distraught, we had seen Mrs. Dulos probably the day before she went missing. There were missing posters up for her, and in a town park, there is now a memorial. This whole thing is so horrible and if you really find this movie to be an enjoyment to watch, think about a family with 5 kids, a dad who committed suicide, and a mom who was killed. How do you feel watching this movie and knowing that the only way they were able to make this movie was for a family to be completely destroyed, traumatized, but there are people out there that are enjoying it.

If you knew these people, you wouldn't be watching this movie. Why are we becoming so entertained by others' downfall? Just imagine being in 2nd, 5th, or 6th grade. Your mom is dead, your dad killed himself. Your lives are ripped apart. Now there is a movie being made about your family's tragedy all for people's entertainment. Sure, true crime is an industry, but once it happens to you, and they make films about how your family was wrecked, would you still support it?

I read the book (The Dollhouse Murder) and the movie just does not hold up. The children are almost ignored and they play a much bigger part of the real story. The script does not do justice to the terror and abuse caused by a narcissistic husband. I realize that a movie cannot include everything from the book but this movie just glided over the real story.
