Editorial Reviews

One morning, six-year-old Alex Selky got dressed, waved goodbye to his mother and set off for school. Somewhere along the short two-block walk, he disappeared. Now for his mom Susan (Oscar®-nominee Kate Nelligan of THE PRINCE OF TIDES - 1992 in a performance The Los Angeles Times hails as "superb"), life becomes a sudden nightmare of police and reporters, panic and suspicion, despair and fear. But as the hours become days and months, can Susan convince her friends, her estranged ex-husband (David Dukes), the media, and the overworked detective in charge of the case (Oscar®-nominee Judd Hirsch of ORDINARY PEOPLE - 1981, and A BEAUTIFUL MIND) that a mother’s hope must somehow survive? Stockard Channing of THE WEST WING co-stars in this stunning drama about a woman who refuses to give up her fight to find the truth – no matter how heartbreaking – behind how her only child could vanish WITHOUT A TRACE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it - But where is the DVD????, November 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Without a Trace [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie back in the 80's and after all this time it doesn't lose it's appeal. The characters are very believable, and well acted. Stockard Channing gives a great performance as Susan's (Kate Nelligan) best friend. Many of the reviewer's state that this movie is a tear jerker, and it is! Even if you just watch the last ten minutes and nothing else you will need a full box of Kleenex! My only complaint is that it is not out on DVD yet, but this film is SO good that it's worth watching/owning on VHS - and that's comming from someone who won't buy anything on VHS anymore!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film!, February 22, 2005

Glenn M. Schoditsch (Richmond, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Without a Trace (DVD)

This is an excellent film with a wonderful performance by Kate Nelligan as a resolute and determined mother whose son is missing, without a trace. Judd Hirsch stars as the congenial detective investigating the case. A real tearjerker at times with a great ending, especially when the detective discovers the truth about young Alex' disappearance. The final few minutes are a bit contrived but just enjoy! This movie is worthy of anyones collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most moving I have ever seen, March 3, 2002

By 

David R. Critchfield - See all my reviews

This review is from: Without a Trace [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'll say it right out, OK ?? I have seen this movie at least 5 times and cannot keep my eyes dry !! Kate Nelligan gives one of the most credible and most emotional portrayals I have ever seen, and Judd Hirsch gives a performance which matches, if not exceeds, than he gave in "Ordinary People". This was written to completely capture your attention by pulling at your emotions, and the stars of the movie do exactly that. Tell me your eyes are dry at the end of this movie and I won't believe you !!
