Searching
Overview
In this hyper-modern techno-thriller, a family's idyllic life splinters apart after the father, David Kim (David Cho) discovers that his 16-year-old daughter Margot (Michelle La) is missing. David turns to the police and an investigation is opened but the hours tick by with no leads. Suddenly, David remembers his daughter's laptop and the search goes hi-tech as he traces Margot's digital footprint in a desperate attempt to locate her before she is lost to them, forever. Directed by Aneesh Chaganty.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"Messing and Lee are effective...but it’s Cho who brings to mind the unforced gravity of a ’50s Hitchcock lead, if a Hitchcock hero had access to instant messaging and Excel grids of witness interviews." - 08/20/2018 A.V. Club
"SEARCHING delivers dramatic satisfactions in addition to technical sophistication." - 01/24/2018 Hollywood Reporter
"[I]n SEARCHING, Chaganty has found a new idiom for communicating not only the things we share, but also those we keep hidden from the ones we love." - 01/29/2018 Variety
"[C]onsistently clever....What sets their film apart from others of its ilk is its dramatic underpinning." - 08/24/2018 RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- "It’s a highly entertaining, fast-moving and gripping drama with a solid emotional core." - 08/29/2018 Empire
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] high-voltage, white-knuckle thriller told almost exclusively through smartphones, laptop screens, browser windows and surveillance footage. SEARCHING is a technical marvel with a beating heart at its core, which makes all the difference." - 08/22/2018 Rolling Stone
