Movie Favorite

"The reality TV–esque approach of this movie is so prescient. In recent times we have seen so many people use the media to glorify violence and murder. This movie feels like black comedy, but really it’s a deep commentary about the sensationalism of evil."

Good premise...bad ending.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I really hate when the movie is good and entertaining and then they just RUIN the ending! That's what this movie did. The whole point that they are making is that this social media platform is taking over people's lives and not being as helpful as they were intended and need to be stopped. But in the end, she shows the world that the leaders of the company have secrets and then SHE becomes the leader...making the social media platform bigger and more intrusive.
In my opinion, it is almost more satirical in making a comparison to a modern day "big brother"

endlessly interpret-able, yet holds together wonderfully
Masterpiece of cleverness
When I first used social media, I would only speak in quotes from this.

Alice is the greatest existential hero ever imagined.


It is available free online. You have no excuse not to read it.

Who knew that your search history would be the key to finding you if you went missing? Searching (2018) #Review
Literally bringing small screen drama to the big screen, social media POV thriller “Searching” may be the most slyly political movie of 2018. FULL REVIEW: http://bit.ly/CraggusSearching

Idea before its time when people were not aware that Big Brother was watching you. There is a question at the end - does he meet the girl? Good Film and though provoking as it is being more and more real life now with all the social media around.

Title misleading
Social media presence does not match the music. Looks do not match the voice. Unexpected and unassuming brilliance. I hope he is a talent that is around for a long time. Listen and make your own opinions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Superhero spoof
This is a really well made and funny superhero spoof. Set in a world where superheroes are media darlings with agents and managers, concerned more with image and advertising than justice and fighting for a cause, the two title characters are non-super-superheroes that make it big.
