It's quite good.You won’t find a ton of praise for the Wachowski sisters’ other big-budget sci-fi adventure, Jupiter Ascending. It wouldn't surprise me if this becomes the sleeper hit of the summer. 2018 has had a pretty stellar summer in terms of the quality of movies that we've seen, and Searching thankfully doesn't break the trend. This heightens both the tension as we learn things at the same time he does, as well as makes his character that much more empathetic. In doing so, he truly draws the viewer into the perspective of John Cho's character as everything is essentially shown from his point of view. Chaganty uses the restrictions of "screen life" to his favor by creating inventive and new ways to present information. In addition to having a tight, well-written screenplay, Searching also is presented in an incredibly fascinating way.
Without him, this movie might not be nearly as good. The entire premise of the story hinges upon his performance as he is the emotional core of it all. A big part of the story working so well has to do with the excellent performance from John Cho. Everything that happens is meaningful and contributes to either the narrative or the tone. At no point along the way does it ever really slow down or get dull. It then unfolds a mystery, layer by layer, until you are quite literally on the edge of your seat, in anticipation for the final reveal. It starts with a heartfelt sequence of home movies that endears you to all of our main characters in minutes, quite similar to the beginning of Up (2009). Allow me to elaborate.This movie has an incredibly well written story. Why I liked this movie can be summed up quite succinctly with four simple words: compelling story, engaging presentation. I just got out of seeing Searching, a "screen life" movie written and directed by Aneesh Chaganty, and I can't overstate how much I enjoyed it.
