In Her Skin

When the perfect daughter of the perfect parents doesn’t come home from her dance class, the parents start hounding the local police to do something because, even though she’s only been missing for a few hours, they know in their heart that something is wrong. They’re right, too, but even a worried parent’s imagination can barely comprehend the full story of what happened until it’s too late.  Based on a true story, writer/director Simone North does a good job of unfolding the facts in a way that always keeps us guessing even if we think we know what will happen in the end. The cast, particularly Ruth Bradley as Caroline  Reid, the troubled young woman at the heart of the mystery, is excellent.
