After publishing a bestselling novel based on the death of one of his high school classmates, the controversial writer Sidney Hall finds himself catapulted to unexpected fame and renown. His relationship with his girlfriend begins to fall apart as the dark consequences of the book intrude on their life together, and he disappears without a trace. Nearly a decade later, an enigmatic detective searches for the missing author, whose books are connected to a string of mysterious arsons.
"Logan Lerman, from the 'Percy Jackson' franchise, plays a mature role in 'The Disappearance of Sidney Hall' and it's completely different from his previous roles. In addition, he is also a producer in the movie, which was a part of Sundance 2017 selection. The film has three different timelines, which interact well with each other, but it has some moments of distraction throughout its almost two hours duration. It's not one of the easiest movies to watch, however, it is a great story and deserves to be told, or even better, watched."
