Best movie ever!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This kind of situation would be so heavy for a teenager to deal with let alone her family. I cannot even imagine what thoughts would be going through your head. In saying that both Carter and her parents need to give a little instead of being so head strong. They would live a much happier life if they grieved together and then grew together.The characters are all pretty selfish individuals. I just hope it gets better for them over time. I would hate to think this is what the rest of their lives would look like. Way too depressing to contemplate.But I do actually like the show. It feels believable to me. Super dramatic but believable. I hope the second season is a little happier though.

As others have mentioned before me,its not quite as black and white as it might come of in the trailers.. Finding Carter starts out pretty interesting, and the 2-3 first episodes are entertaining enough.But after that is goes into stereotype mode. Prescott does a fairly good job of playing Carter the long lost kidnapped daughter returned home. But Cynthia Watros does the most horrible job of pretending to be a mother,a cop and a struggling wife. She doesn't look remotely believable as any of the three characters.I mean how many active duty detectives do you know,who walks around in high heels? Carters siblings are mostly one dimensional.Her little brother is a gamer,and thats basically all you know about him.Carter's so called twin sister(which doesn't look remotely believable as a twin) is the bright head of the family, the stereotype good girl who just struggles to break out of her role and be bad. And along comes carter soon she's smoking pot and hooks, up with Carters EX boyfriend, a stoner none the less.And her cop mother even condone. So They come up with a few twist and turns along the way,just so you will stick to the end. Mostly it consists of the usual family dramas.Wife cheating,struggling author of a husband,who feels he's a failure cause he can't come up with another best seller etc. I'm kind of amazed they gave it a second season,cause it's really not that great of a storyline. But I will watch it

This show caught my attention with its kidnapping story, but it didn't turn out quite as I expected. First of all, I have to say, it's a great idea. I like how the show started, with Carter being told she was taken as a child, but from that moment on, they don't say a lot about her kidnapping. It seems as it became irrelevant. It becomes classic teen drama - fighting with parents, choosing between boys, sibling misunderstandings etc. But where's the plot advertised so much in trailer and previews? This story definitely has potential, and I guess they can't reveal too much in the first 10 episodes, but I expected it going that way. We only got one clue about the kidnapping, and I expected at least more mysteries and unresolved puzzles. By the end of season one, all we know is that Carter's dad and kidnapper (or mom as she calls her) have some kind of past. That's it. And that's why it got only 5 stars. And I can't wait for more episodes, cause I honestly believe we'll get some more background details.

This show is definitely not for me. If we're suppose to like this character- be on her side, it's not happening. This character is a horrible person. Yes, she was kidnapped, but her actions against birth mother since her return are deplorable. Complete dis-respect! Carter never considers what her birth mother went through, or anyone else's feelings- at all! She gets involved with a delinquent, in direct defiance of her mother (who just arrested the moron). The moron gets caught teaching Carter's 12 year old brother to roll joints. Her dad kicks him out, and the Mom forbids Carter from seeing him. What does this Carter do? She shoves her tongue down her the moron's throat, and makes a smart$$$ remark, in further defiance. I get she grew up with her kidnapper, and I'll give her that but she is horrible to anyone, that conflicts with what she wants. She doesn't think about other people at all! My ten year old watches this crap, with her Mom. I'm thinking about putting a stop to that. The show, to me, is an epic fail.
