Due to the onslaught of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Maud\u2019s life consists of notes\u2014reminders affixed to items around the house and stuffed into her pockets. It\u2019s a life of frustration and stasis, punctuated by outings with her friend, Elizabeth (Maggie Steed), who resides nearby. When Elizabeth doesn\u2019t show up for their get-together, Maud (Glenda Jackson) is annoyed. The time and place are on a scrap of paper, so where is she? As the days mount without any explanation of Elizabeth\u2019s sudden disappearance, Maud grows obsessed, then frantic as the hazy details of her friend\u2019s predicament overlap with an unresolved tragedy from long ago. This isn\u2019t a mystery as much as it is a stirring portrait of an older woman\u2019s struggle to be heard as she gets pulled between the past and the present. <\/span>Elizabeth Is Missing<\/span><\/i> provides a potent reminder of the agony faced by those afflicted with dementia, the patience required by their loved ones and the lack of a convenient resolution all around. Jackson, as usual, is terrific. Based on Emma Healey\u2019s novel. <\/span><\/p>\n
