La policía siendo inútil en cualquier parte del mundo. Son unos ineptos, que rabia! Gracias a su hermana la encontraron! No entiendo cómo pueden sentirse seguros en esas casas de cartón, después de tantos casos que se han dado

This is a well filmed doco with okay pacing, but structurally is a bit messy. There are moments where further context feels warranted, but was glazed over. Music was overly dramatic and did not lend itself well to the true story. Along with that, there are obvious fake moments here that were not necessary, and makes me feel this is just another Netflix doco where they care more for entertainment than truth. More so than other studios that is. Unfortunately, a lot of the reenactments also felt off, could be that they had the real life people involved do it instead of acting doubles where appropriate, but I appreciate their willingness to do so for the filmmakers. Some awkward audio sync errors or overdubbing in the beginning I noticed too. But yeah main gripes here are the push of narrative over facts, but that's usually any true crime documentary nowadays... especially on Netflix. **6/10**

A clear, restrained documentary that offers a chronological account of Elizabeth Smart’s kidnapping and captivity, anchored by her own deeply affecting testimony. It may not break new ground for those familiar with the case, but it thoughtfully examines family trauma, flawed police work, and the lasting psychological impact on survivors, all without sensationalism.
