| KXL-FM (Portland, OR)Gary WolcottDone any other way and this is a very average story you'd usually find on one of those one-hour forensic detective shows. Done this way and it's brilliant. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookSearch no more - here's a terrific thriller. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondThe gimmick of setting the action in the center of our Google world genuinely works for all 100-plus minutes, and even after adjusting to its unusual hook makes you forget the gimmick entirely after a while. |
| SlashfilmBen PearsonAn electrifying, emotional, and wildly entertaining thriller. |
| CC2KFiona UnderhillSearching for a smart take on the internet? Look no further. |
| Daily Express (UK)Andy LeaCho is rarely off screen and he gives this digital masterpiece heart and flashes of humour. |
| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyAn original blast of a film. "Searching" heartily implies we instinctively know our dearest family members better than we give ourselves credit for, even when the evidence insists otherwise. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt has enough twists, turns, red herrings, chills and surprises to jangle the steadiest nerves, compelling characters and an unexpected degree of emotional power. |
| El Nuevo DíaJuanma Fernández ParísChaganty's work is phenomenal, creating tension, and claustrophobia with the rhythm of a filmmaker who has directed dozens of films of this genre. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonald"Searching," a pleasantly gimmicky movie, gets its power from something that isn't a gimmick at all: an actor's ability to simply and movingly tell a story. |
