Sundance film review: Amy Ryan in 'Lost Girls'
, its shattering, forensically detailed miniseries about the hunt for a serial rapist. That standard of excellence does no favors to this poorly scripted feature from the streaming platform, based on the unsolved Long Island Serial Killer case in which more than a dozen sex workers were murdered over a period of almost 20 years.
Mari works two jobs, operating heavy machinery on a construction site as well as doing counter service at a local diner in blue-collar Ellenville, NY. She has two daughters at home, Sherre and Sarra , the latter on medication for what would eventually be diagnosed as schizophrenia. Shannan, now in her early twenties, moved away from the family and into foster care from age 12, after her mother became unable to handle her bipolar disorder or afford proper treatment.
A police dog purely by chance picks up a scent that leads to the discovery of four bodies on Long Island beaches, all of them identified as sex workers hired, like Shannen, off Craigslist. This brings the mothers and sisters of those women together for a vigil, and while Mari keeps her distance at first, she becomes the group's natural leader, protesting the bias in media coverage and the indifference of the police.
Werwie's script tries to build some emotional heft into the pain of the grieving families, but only Lola Kirke as a young woman whose sister was among the first bodies found, and who has her own associations with the sex trade, has anything meaty to play.
