Watch a mystery unfold in ‘The Vanishing of Sidney Hall’
I am lucky to watch a lot of films lately. Once in a while I take a risk and check out a movie I know nothing about. The Vanishing of Sidney Hall is one of these films. I had my doubts at first, but it surprised me in many ways. I was able to get a review copy and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for The Vanishing of Sidney Hall here:
After publishing a best-selling novel based on the death of one of his high school classmates, controversial writer Sidney Hall (Logan Lerman) finds himself catapulted to unexpected fame and renown. His relationship with his girlfriend (Elle Fanning) begins to fall apart as the dark consequences of the book intrude on their life together, and he disappears without a trace. Nearly a decade later, an enigmatic detective (Kyle Chandler) searches for the missing author, whose books are connected to a string of mysterious arsons.
I was very impressed with The Vanishing of Sidney Hall. Once I started it, I couldn’t wait to see how it ended. The jumping back and forth between the three time periods was a nice touch. All of the cast did a great job playing their roles. Many of these characters have layers that get peeled back as the story is being told. One of the better films I have seen in a good while.
