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.

_Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. ...

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.

Searching is a mystery thriller film shot from the perspective of our main characters computer screen.In most movies of this nature, this is done as gimmick and does not feel natural in the story telling.But here, the technology is seamlessly integrated into the story where the two are inseparable.John Cho does an excellent job of being the lead here. ...

Searching is one of those movies that grabs your attention from the very start with its unique storytelling style.The entire film unfolds through digital screens, which adds an intriguing layer to the narrative and feels surprisingly natural.The story builds a solid foundation, with good pacing and character development that makes you genuinely invested in what’s happening.John Cho delivers a strong and emotional performance as a father searching for his daughter, and the way the movie balances suspense with heartfelt moments is impressive.

One of the highlights of Searching is how it incorporates technology into the story without feeling forced. ...
