engrossing, fascinating, and endlessly tragic.

Lemmon and Spacek are the film's highlight... It's a winning formula, and it's too bad that there isn't more of it.

In Costa-Gavras's fact-inspired political melodrama, Jack Lemmon gives one of his strongest performances as a naive, conservative American who gets rude political awakening when his leftist son is executed with the tacit knowledge of the US government

A powerful, influential and tense political thriller based on a true story.

This movie might have really been powerful, if it could have gotten out of its own way.

Graphic portrayal of dictatorship's abuses is unforgettable.

Among other things Missing does is to convince you that, next time, you're not going to waste your vote. The passive citizen is the citizen-victim.

Lemmon is superior as a man facing up to issues he never wanted to confront personally.
March 29, 2009
Though Costa-Gavras clearly has a political axe to grind, he manages to do so without haranguing the viewer, keeping the film's focus on his characters and masterfully building tension as the story moves toward its stinging resolution.

Spacek and Lemmon are fine as the missing man's wife and father, but what makes the film so overwhelming in places is its unending night-time imagery of a society coming apart at the seams.

Still relevant 34 years after its release and 43 years after the events it depicts. [Full review in Portuguese.]
March 29, 2009
A story that could have made for a brisk jeremiad on 60 Minutes is stretched to 122 minutes of heroes fuming and villains purring their oleaginous apologies. Spacek and Lemmon, an appealing sweet-and-sour combo, sink in the swamp of good intentions.
