Impressive that viewers are able to relate to the characters despite the entire film taking place across the various tech screens of our lives.
Definitely the best use of this format I've ever seen.I also picked a lot of the mystery ahead of its reveal, but not everything!And I like it when I can't pick everything.John Cho is an absolute champion, and Searching genuinely met my expectations.

Terrible plot, but aesthetically well-crafted

Searching blew me away even though I saw it after Run, Aneesh Chaganty's later feature, and having heard and read everything about how similar Mahesh Narayan's c u soon is. The intensity of the plot, its unpredictability, and the conviction of the characters are what stood out for me in this unconventional thriller that is also so relatable and real. Watch it right now if you haven't. 8 stars.
