Movie Review - Searching
Rotten Tomatoes critics and audience-goers on average have given Searching a 92% and 97%, respectively.
I wasn't sure what to expect from a movie that takes place on a computer screen, but from the first scene to closing scene I was impressed.
The first few minutes of the movie are exquisite. We see photos and videos of Margot, the missing daughter, from her toddler years to her graduation from high school. Interspersed throughout the scene we see Margot's mother (who is now deceased), and the obvious love she had for her daughter. The poignancy this scene evoked stayed with me throughout the movie.
Since I see so many movies, rarely am I completely surprised by the ending, however Searching presented a plot twist that most certainly will leave you thinking about this movie for some time.
Over this holiday weekend, I recommend taking the time to get out of the heat and into a nice cool theater to see an extraordinary movie.
Grade: A-
About the Peetimes: Searching is an intense movie, with most of it taking place on a computer screen. This made getting Peetimes a bit hard, because for a great deal of the movie there's no dialog, just a montage of videos and photos going by quickly on the computer.
