Searching (2018)
A thriller with a somewhat new cinematographic concept, that actually works!
Going from a number of unrecognized short films, Aneesh Chaganty makes a very promising debut as the director and writer of his, to my knowledge, first prominent feature film. This film invites the viewer to an intriguing mystery that unfolds solely through the online screens of today, a modern technicality, and I like it!
The main reason to see this film is because of John Cho, who delivers a great performance as the desperate father looking for his daughter, reinforcing the otherwise typical missing-child-narrative, allowing a chilly atmosphere to unfold.
If you are looking for a modern cyber-mystery, with a lot of nerving turns, you should watch this.
