“I didn’t know her. I didn’t know my own daughter”- David Kim (John Cho)
Director Aneesh Chaganty’s new movie Searching is the latest in what some refer to as the Screenlife medium. In this framing, the entire movie is presented through a computer screen, in the vein of the two Unfriended movies (indeed, the three movies share a producer). This particular story is about David Kim (John Cho), a father searching for his daughter Margot (Michelle La) who has gone missing. Along the way, David has to come to terms with how much his daughter has kept from him.
This movie was fantastic. Spoilers and more below the cut
