"I think what a lot of viewers will absolutely LOVE about “MIA,” is how both Motia and Jasper came into this movie absolutely immersed into their characters. There is no Shah, there is no Emiliana – there is only Aaron and Emma, and it’s an incredible treat to see two actors jump right into their roles, knowing exactly how they’re meant to be played. You know how sometimes you’ll see actors evolve in their roles as what you’re watching continues? That’s not necessary when you come in as prepared as these two were. It feels as though from the moment that Ferrer called out “Action!” on the set, they both stepped right into the skin of their respective characters and instantly went about delivering their scenes with the kind of conviction & commitment you always hope to find right off the bat but rarely do. To say I’m impressed would be putting it mildly – these two deserve serious recognition for their work."
