| MOVIE - The Vanishing of Sidney Hall |

THE VANISHING OF SIDNEY HALL

"I just kept replaying that scene. Hoping against hope that the ending would change."

SYNOPSIS: A well-known author suddenly vanishes.

RATING: 7.6/10

REVIEW: 

• I liked the story. It was interesting and kind of mysterious. It will make you want to know what happened to Sidney to make him run away and hide. 
• I really liked the story because it will show you that there's only so much a person could take.
• Majority of the scenes in the first part wasn't really explained much up until the latter half of the movie which made it feel too long.
• The thing that probably messed things up was the incredibly confusing timeline. It was kind of hard to differentiate which timeline was currently being shown (since there were three and Logan Lerman looked kind of the same for two of them).
• The cinematography was beautiful. There were beautiful shots here and there especially of Elle Fanning and Logan Lerman.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Yes, if you want something interesting and heartbreaking (has a bit of a slow pacing).
WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Maybe someday.

• You'd really understand why Sidney decided to run away and hide. He managed to survive: 
• The guilt of ruining someone's life (with him losing Brett's tape and the kid committing suicide because of his book).
• Losing his wife and child in a situation where he couldn't do anything but watch them die.
• I suspected from the moment Brett and Sidney dug up something that it was going to be tape of a sexual act. I was confused as to what happened to Brett's plan when he committed suicide. I hate Sidney's mom for burning the tape. 
• I was confused as to why Sidney's mother felt a bit pervy towards him. I thought she was abusing her child at some point to be honest. I'm glad Sidney left.
• God, I cried when the movie showed why Sidney wasn't with Melody. I thought they just broke up seeing as how it was shown that Sidney had an affair but things got worse when they got together and we get to see Melody die along with their unborn child. Things got worse because Sidney was by her side as he slowly watched die. 
• It broke my heart to see that Sidney's goal all along was to reach the house they dreamed on going on the time they planned on going there. It broke my heart because he just reached his goal and then died. At least he was with Melody now.
