The Girl Who Got Away is one of those long-winded thrillers that has an interesting plot at its core. While the making is pretty solid (in terms of creating an atmosphere), the writing seriously lacks conviction. We get a whole bunch of characters, none of which, are well-written. As viewers, we cannot trust any of these characters who act in a certain way, because the screenplay is only focused around throwing ineffective twists at us that undo entire scenes (and plot-points even). At nearly 2 hours long, the plot wears thin, the twists don't matter, and the performances lack the initial sincerity. What writer-director Michael Morrissey does succeed in is to intrigue us with an impressive visual style (for an indie horror) backed by decent sound design.
