I waited a very long time to see "BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING"....but when I finally did get to see it, I wasn't disappointed. In a nutshell, a lovely little girl disappears. But -- did she ever really exist? Is her "mother" (?) on the verge of a nervous breakdown? A determined, but sympathetic detective, (SIR LAURENCE OLIVIER), is determined to find out the truth!This film has twists and turns, a followable story, and a literate script. It proves that thrillers need NOT have "blood and guts", (all over the floor!) to be successful! Too many modern "thrillers"use "special effects" instead of the viewers imagination, and scenes of disgust, instead of imaginative camera angles. "BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING" is a taunt, well-done movie -- which definitely deserves more publicity than it has gotten, and also deserves, (well deserves!), the subtitle -- "classic"!
