Missing Link

About This Movie

Missing Link (2021) weaves an intriguing tapestry of the connections between humans and animals, and not in the usual way you might expect. The documentary uses a performative approach, which can feel a bit avant-garde at times, but it really pulls you in. The atmosphere is reflective, sometimes haunting, as it explores how our relationships with animals have shifted through the ages. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing the viewer to digest some heavier themes around cohabitation and coexistence. The visuals are striking, with a mix of practical effects that lend a certain rawness to the narrative. It’s a fascinating watch for anyone interested in the deeper questions of existence and our place in the natural world.
