Missing Mom

I rely on Amazon Prime to introduce overlooked, under-publicized, and generally, darn fascinating true crime documentaries. At the conclusion of "Missing Mom," I couldn't have cared less about the things that seem to bother other reviewers here.

In fact, I was so sure that this was not a documentary, but rather a found-footage film, that I came to IMDB to see if I was right. It's a documentary all right--and, dang, do I give credit to these two brothers for undertaking the mission that they did.

What surprised me wasn't the question asked of Rob at the end: "Do you think this might create some disturbances you didn't anticipate when you set out?" It didn't surprise me because the ending kind of reveals who the judgmental souls were. And *that*, of course, will cause disturbances.

God bless Rob and Chris, and their new life.

So bad. If you want to watch 1 hour and 30 minutes of someone else's family being interviewed this is for you. This couldn't have possibly won awards.

The film raises lots of questions it never answers, leaving viewers with an ending but few meaningful revelations. The real story should have begun at the point the point where this film stops, and that's a shame.

If you love watching paint dry, this is for you! They could have summarized this entire documentary in 15 mins. An hour and half of my life I'll never get back.

I obviously have no idea what goes on in Canada, but the lack of cooperation with their federal police is bizarre. The RCMP apparently can't access a simple arrest report from Toronto? The provincial police won't share details of an arrest with the RCMP? One of the children in is documentary is a current member of the RCMP! In the U. S. this would have been solved in a few minutes. Cops cooperate with other cops.
