SEARCHING

DIRECTOR: Aneesh Chaganty

CAST: John Cho, Debra Messing, Michelle La Playing out almost entirely on a computer screen, we are given a hacker’s eye view into the online lives of David (John Cho) and his daughter Margot (Michelle La). Communicating through brief text messages and jumpy FaceTime calls, their fragile relationship is suddenly shattered when Margot goes missing. We were fully expecting to tire of this thriller’s gimmicky use of tech but instead, it adds an obsessive urgency to David’s frantic search.
