Missing Young Woman Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Lourdes Portillo's elegiac Seorita Extraviada documents with low-key persistence the conditions in Ciudad Jurez that make some say, 'There is no better place in the world to kill a young woman.'
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
The victims of the crimes described in Senorita Extraviada cry out for justice. Just as their stories cry out for a more-focused, less superficial documentary than this one.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
There's obviously a stark, chilling story here, but Portillo is a sloppy moviemaker.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Portillo makes a powerful indictment -- though without the evidence to get a conviction -- against the powers that be.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
An important film, worthy of the Special Jury Prize it won at last year's Sundance Film Festival.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
The tragedy, unfairness and sheer repulsive indignity of the situation speak, in ghastly sorrow, all for themselves.
Film Threat
Ron Wells
Look, I know this documentary isn't easy to watch. It will make you angry. That's good; it should make you angry.
San Diego Union-Tribune
David Elliott
[A] film of appalling facts.
L.A. Weekly
Holly Willis
The film is shocking, and, for better or worse, Portillo's refusal to offer solace kindles a potent rage that's not easily forgotten.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
One can only hope that Portillo's film has served as catalyst, and now something will be done.
