Who Stole My Daughter?

Yay! Katie's home.

This whole film was stupid. She walks in the house - not a spoiler: a) it's in the first 5 minutes b) it's in the trailer c) it's the plot of the movie -- obviously traumatized, but the mother kept hanging on her. I get it; she was afraid her daughter was dead and was so happy to see her alive. At the front door. But Katie was seriously in shock. Btw, Sierra McCormick's acting as Katie was good. She had so little to work with but she did well with what she had. And I feel like I kept yelling at the screen for Janet to stop touching Katie. And the brilliant therapist starts the first session with can you tell me who took you. Really? First question out of the gate is that?! Ugh. Whoever wrote this has not seen real trauma up close. I'm grateful they've missed it, but dang it showed in this

My main complaints are the direction given and stupidity of the plot. Save us from Lifetime Movies!

I'm not finished watching this movie as of this review but I am going to finish because I want to see if my theory is correct. However it is so stupid. The parents in this movie are especially annoying; I don't know if it's the character development or bad acting. It's infuriating that they're both idiots. I GET denial, wanting to be in control & wanting to protect a child but these characters UGH .. again STUPID. Even if the characters are pretending to be idiots it's still annoying.

Samaire Armstrong once again showing us that she just can't act to save her life. What a pile of hot garbage this film is.

The "time capsule" is two bunt cake tins. They didn't even bother to weld on some hinges. I literally made this account to whinge about this. Bloody lazy.

Some of the acting is good, some okay and some awful. Standard TV movie stuff. The directing and storyline are mediocre. Again standard TV movie stuff.

This movie was not that bad. However, there was way too many buildup moments where you're just waiting for a crucial piece of information to be revealed... and then immediately afterwards there's another buildup moment. So instead of building up tension, it just leaves me feeling impatient.
