Engaging and emotional.
Searching is one of the best films of the year. It’s original, unpredictable, and inventive. Go see it! Support small original films like this!
Incredible film. GO SEE THIS!
wildly original and gripping!
This movie was awesome, great storyline twisted plot. Too bad I was on only one in the movie theater to watch it
This movie was not what I was expecting. It was so much better. What a clever way to do a movie. It keeps you engaged the entire time. I loved the storyline and the ending will make you say. What!
Wasted my free movie ticket!
95% of the movie was spent on the father searching the daughter’s social media accounts. Ugh!! Couldn’t enjoy the storyline bc of this.
Enjoyed it!
So awesome! Love a good unexpected twist!
Pretty good. Surprising twists.
Uniquely good movie. i went into it not having high hopes because of the unique vantage points the film is shot from but it actually worked terrifically. Cho was great as well. As a father myself, this had me shedding a tear a couple of times.
Perfection!!!
BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER!!!!
Love the hyper modern tech lens they used to film this. But still keeping true to the suspense drama of a father searching for his daughter.
this movie was mind blowing.
movie dragged but it was ok. should have wait to download it
you will never guess the ending!
Grear movie. It had me triple thinking, the movie will trick you into thinking something then it was something else and when you thought it was something else, it was something completely Different.
I loved how it "tricked" me all the time. The photograph style is pretty different. I really liked it
very suspenseful, was on the edge of my seat
Searching is an absolute must-see. truly a phenomenal film.
Wow, better than I expected! Shocking at every turn, completely surprising. I was engaged the entire film!

Movie was slow at first but kept you going it was an emotional roller coaster
Kept you guessing to the end
bad, bad movie
Well paced
you know how the biggest desire for moviegoers is for Hollywood to turn out something different or original? This movie answers the call. Definitely go check it out.
John Cho's best film to date! He really sells this movie and your heart feels all the anxiety, anger, and woe his character goes through!
very very entertaining
A nail biter the entire time!

CRAZY PLOT TWIST
Loved this movie. I went in not really expecting much but left loving it. Lots of great twists and just when you think you know who the villain is, bam, it throws a twist at you. Great movie- must see.
it was gorgeous
Edge of the seat
Thought this movie would be predictable. I was wrong!
Great twist. The dog did it.
Great movie
Great movie with a unique presentation. The little details are what makes this movie enjoyable for moviegoers that like to solve the crime before the big reveal. Thumbs up if you solved it like I did .
Liked the movie. Kept me engaged and it had unexpected turns.
Metacritic
Impressively, first-time filmmaker and former Google commercials creator Aneesh Chaganty has also made a real movie, the story of a family that morphs into a crime drama that gradually ratchets up the tension as all good thrillers must, one that’s well constructed and acted as well as novel in its storytelling techniques.
Despite the specificity of its story and the manner in which its told, the issues at hand remain universal, including David’s struggle to connect with his child and the way paranoia can make even the best friends into the worst enemies.
Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian deliver wonders on both the technical and narrative ends of Search, but editors Will Merrick and Nick Johnson do an astounding job as well.
