Review of Searching (2018) by Ron C — 14 Sep 2018
Was nervous when the first several minutes consisted solely of screen shots, and associated sounds of typing. However, I think they got the right balance between technical details and adding to the story line.
Quick overview: Widower is raising his musically-talented daughter - Margot (Michelle La). She disappears and he starts to find out several disturbing facts about her. Clarification of her situation is delayed until finally the police are contacted.
The father - David Kim (John Cho) goes through several common techniques to break into his daughters social media. Again, just the right amount of details so you can follow along but not get bored. Each contact or app/website adds to the mystery.
There are several great plot twists prior to the last 2, which you'll probably appreciate as much as me. This is so well done, the story believable I'd be surprised if it doesn't at least make the short list for all the awards this year.
