Die Burger David Engelbrecht Spanning loop hoog terwyl pa kind soek. | 10 | |
24.com Gabi Zietsman If any filmmaker with a tight budget wants to dabble in this digital style of storytelling, Searching would be the best film to use as a case study and how to interweave the digital sphere with the plot. | 15 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy Overall, I liked the pic quite a bit, yet hope it doesn’t end up as one of the first of many of what could be a heavily copied and imitated cinematic storytelling form. | 14 | |
