Will Stephanie find

out what has become

of her mysterious

new friend Emily?

● DRAMA / Netflix

NEW

Anna Kendrick

and Blake Lively

are at the top of

their game in this adaptation

of Darcey Bell’s best-selling

thriller. Kendrick plays small-

town, single-mum vlogger

Stephanie, who falls under

the spell of the wildly glam but

oddly secretive Emily, played

by Lively. The pair, whose sons

go to school together, become

close friends, confiding in each

other about their lives. When

Emily vanishes, Stephanie

is left with a mystery and is

determined to find out what

has happened. Bridesmaids

director Paul Feig unravels the

tale confidently, dishing out

red herrings like a Norwegian

chef, while the two leads look

like they are having a lot of fun

with their roles.HHHHHNP
