Everyone says "this is the spiritual sequel to Searching". And while true, it deserves to be considered as its own thing.
A teen is fed up with dealing with her mother, but when her mother goes on holiday but doesn't return, she starts asking questions. And so we have our search via computer to trace back what happened, with websites and facetime with people to provide the people talking. And... I'll admit, I did not see the plot twists coming at all. Like, none of them. They all work, but caught be completely by surprise, and yet they all flow naturally from what we've been given. No mean feat, that.
It's all on Storm Reid to hold this movie, and she does excellently. While I might have questions about the justification for seeing her on screen, she gives a great performance and keeps you watching what she's going through next. We also get Ken Leung and Joaquim de Almeida, so we definitely have star power in this as well.
If you liked Searching, definitely check this out. If you didn't see Searching, definitely give this a go. If you didn't like Searching... try this anyway! Thumbs up all around!
