Searching - Reviews

It aims for and earns genuine emotion rather than cheap thrills.

John Cho inkarnerer smerten og desperationen gennem hvert FaceTime-opkald...

...a highly entertaining, fast-moving and gripping drama with a solid emotional core.

While the story and the gimmick of Searching are both not new, the sum is most certainly greater than the whole of its parts, in truly brilliant ways.

...the most carefully considered entry in the laptop-based thriller cycle...

In the lead role, Cho does amazing things, performing largely by himself and within unconventional cameras and camera setups, reaching new emotional depths.

...far more than a simple abduction thriller [it] is also a savvy commentary on both family and our utter dependence on all those weirdly less and less invasive (or are they?) byproducts of the Anthropocene internet age.

...en intrikat konstruerad söndagsthriller för face-down-generationen.

Regidebuterande Aneesh Chaganty har snyggt sytt ihop internets oändlighet i en liten hopplös ruta som aldrig verkar innehålla det som verkligen behövs.

...full av oväntade twistar...

Filmens styrka ligger snarare i nyttan men också skadan som sociala medier kan åstadkomma.
