She plays one of three women around whom the story largely revolves (Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett are the others). Emily Blunt does such a masterful job of playing an alcoholic social outcast, I agree with some others on here wondering why she wasn't even nominated for an Academy Award. Let's talk about the FILM.) And yes, it's a very good one. All of these reviews on here telling me about the book, and then giving a poor rating because the film isn't exactly like the book, are irrelevant and out of place. If you want to write a review of the book, go to and write it there! This site is for the film, and it's what I want to know about. No offense to them (or you, if you are one of them), but the point here is to review the FILM - not to compare and contrast the film to the novel (or to anything else, for that matter). It seems most of the negative reviews here are from people who read the novel, then apparently watched this film with a notepad in hand, already knowing the story and the outcome but eagerly marking down every area that doesn't match the book, and then coming here to write negative reviews to vent about it. So my review and impressions are formed solely from watching the movie, where they should be. (First let me state I have not read the novel on which this film is based. This is an excellent mystery/thriller that had me 'grasping at straws' for a solid hour or so, trying to figure out who was 'good' and who was 'bad.' And.it's punctuated with a "killer ending!" (Yes, pun intended ~) Plot in a nutshell: An alcoholic loner subject to blackouts (Emily Blunt) immerses herself in a missing-persons case in which she becomes a prime suspect.
