The MPAA rating has been assigned for “some strong violence, language, teen drinking, and thematic material.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a few bloody wounds and deaths by gunshot and a stabbing with a shard of glass, a few fights when a gun is discharged, a kidnapping, underage drinking, many arguments ...
Domestic/physical abuse is depicted; as well as dead bodies, shooting with blood splattering and a disturbing scene where a man is stabbed in the neck with a shard of glass onscreen (some blood shown). Quite mature for a PG-13 rating.
It's what earned the film its R rating, though Howard demonstrates restraint in how bloody things get and how much he shows the audience of weapons making contact with their victims. Some punches get thrown. We see a bloody steer carcass following a coyote attack. Lilly is whipped by her captors.
Missing is rated PG-13 for some strong violence, language, teen drinking, and thematic material. It's a thriller film, so while not horror, it might have some content that young viewers could find disturbing. PG-13 means that parents are strongly cautioned.
Missing is no horror film, but it is a very well crafted thriller. The performances are spectacular. The grounded reality of the film makes it feel like you are watching these terrifying events play out in real time. There's a large debate between thriller and horror films, but it doesn't matter.
Despite its lifelike premise and innovative use of modern technologies in its storytelling, Missing is not based on a true story. The film and its plot are completely fictional works that were conceptualized and written by Sev Ohanian and Aneesh Chaganty.
While set in the same world, Missing tells a new story about a teenage girl (Storm Reid) who quickly realizes her mother has disappeared under very strange circumstances. Utilizing the power of social media and Google, she tries to track her down while also uncovering some mysteries about her past.
The Missing is a fascinating, unique, and ambitious piece of storytelling that one can't help but get engrossed in. While some of The Missing may seem torturous if you are a parent and thinking about your child, the performances, especially Nesbitt's, are compelling.
Now, Grace and June are free and reunited. The film ends with June in college, and we learn that a true crime show has been written based on what happened to her and Grace.
The Missing movie ending explained the discovery that June's presumably dead father, James (Tim Griffin), is behind the scheme to kidnap Grace in a bid to get his daughter back, which involved using Kevin to con Grace Allen into going on vacation.

Missing has a very happy ending in which Sarah and June make it back alive after going through hell in the form of James coming back from the past to harm them somehow. June's attitude is much more mature, and her connection with her mother seems to be more solid than ever.
Missing, the spiritual sequel to Searching, involves an entirely new story and — save for a sly reference to John Cho's character in the prologue — an entirely new cast, but it retains the cinematic grammar and philosophy of the original film.
The inventive approach and the frantic energy of the storytelling elevate the picture above its slightly gimmicky formal device, though this film lacks the novelty value that made Searching such a talking point. April 23, 2023 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
Some are movies are just spooky. Gentle thrills can let kids explore fears in a safe environment. Others movies can be very scary and even violent. Scary movies that contain violence or adult content can have harmful effects on young viewers' behavior and mental health.
