Lovely wee story
The novel is told from the perspective of Maude, a lady in her 80's with dementia. The reader experiences the frustration that the protagonist feels because of her poor short term memory, yet there is this brilliant back story. Yes, Elizabeth is missing, but so is Sukie, Maude's big sister who disappeared when they were both young. Switching between the present and the past enhances the story, showing how certain triggers can support long term memory in dementia patients. Lovely wee story. Brilliant gripping beginning, a bit slow in the middle and great ending. Worth a read.

This movie has a decent cast, however the premise is quite daft for this shark horror.
It's quite predictable until 'that memorable scene' which keeps this movie in viewers memory longer than it should be.
It's a reasonably entertaining watch in fairness and filled the void left after 'Jaws'

I thought this was a very well written and thought out novel. It is hard-hitting in the sense that it confirms that ones memory is ever so important yet incredibly fragile. It allowed me to reflect on the things in life that I may have taken for granted.

"Frampton’s structural riddle (nostalgia) and Akerman’s city symphony News From Home are brilliant experiments in self-portraiture and sound-image relationships that both derive their power from paradox. His film enacts a tug of war between memory and anticipation; hers conjures an indelible sense of both place and displacement"

"My five favorite films? I have no memory, that’s my problem. [Laughs] Well one of them would be Apocalypse Now. I mean, you could tell that the movie was made in madness, as madness, and that, to me… someday I want to make a movie like that. Total consumption."
