In Conyers, Pennsylvania, two girls go missing – believed to be abducted. Their families begin to disintegrate under the strain, with one of the fathers (Hugh Jackman) resorting to increasingly extreme behaviour.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays the local detective, desperately trying to find the girls despite the community and his own boss working against him.
It’s brilliantly written, acted and photographed. There’s a genuinely creepy look to the rainswept houses and streets.
Themes of religion, family and community run through the narrative, adding depth and texture.
