Review of Searching (2018) by Tvjerry — 05 Sep 2018
This clever title is entirely appropriate, since the father (John Cho) spends this film looking for his lost teenage daughter on line. Also, because this is a screen-based film (everything takes place on some kind of screen: computers, cell phones, etc.
). This could be considered a gimmick (like Unfriended in 2015), but this has several things going for it. First, it's a well-written mystery that would work without the concept, but becomes even more interesting with it.
The superb editing and innovative approaches to storytelling (plus Cho's performance) elevate this film into smart, creative thriller.
