Synopsis
The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (2018), directed by Shawn Christensen, is a nonlinear drama you can watch online on iFILM. Logan Lerman plays Sidney, a small-town teenager whose raw, confessional novel lands him unexpected fame. Elle Fanning is the girl he loves before any of it happens. Kyle Chandler plays the detective piecing together where Sidney went — and why.
The story moves across three stretches of Sidney's life. In each one, the book that made him known has done more damage than he imagined. Fame cost him the relationship that mattered. The novel, it turns out, was honest in ways that hurt people who weren't ready to be seen.
Christensen builds the film slowly, keeping its cards close — closer than some viewers will want. But for anyone drawn to stories about what it means to tell the truth in public and then disappear from it, this one holds. Stream The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (2018) on iFILM.
