While I believe this is partly about a brother who wants to know what happened to his sister who disappeared more than three decades ago, I feel like it is more about an aspiring filmmaker desperately trying to make something out of next-to-nothing. The evidence is never strong, the case is flimsy, and he spends 14 years trying to find answers, revisiting the same stories and scenarios. The re-enactments are weak, and it meanders all over the place. I stuck with it out of curiosity and when it was over, was mad at myself that I'd wasted my time. In my opinion, this is a vanity project and little more.
