A Simple Favor

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A dedicated mother and popular vlogger befriends a wealthy, mysterious woman whose son goes to the same school as her own. When the woman asks her to pick up her son and then vanishes, the mother starts looking for answers, uncovering unsettling questions about her new friend’s past.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like stylish missing-person mysteries with dark humor, lively performances, and a playful tone; not for you if you want a tightly plotted, consistently serious thriller.
