One of the best films of the year!


I just finished watching the new movie Searching. The film is brilliantly directed by Aneesh Chaganty and stars John Cho, in a career best performance. This riveting dramatic mystery is about a father desperately searching for his missing teenaged daughter. The story is told in a really creative and clever way. The entire film is shown on computer screens, through FaceTime calls, social media sites, news reports and surveillance cameras. It's unlike any other movie you've seen. The story is compelling and engrossing. I cared about the characters and was interested to see what would happen. There is a lot of suspense and good twists and turns to keep you guessing. Searching is one of the best films of the year and deserves serious Oscar consideration. I rate Searching a high 9/10. Don't miss it!

It's definitely the most relatable movie since we're all on our computers. It's the movie that Slenderman should have been with more mystery and clever twists.
