In 2018, along with many other people, I saw Searching in theatres and was completely taken. It featured one of my favorite actors, though I fear he still remains deeply overlooked by the mainstream, and held my attention like nothing else. It was a thriller told through screens, not a new concept by any means, but I remain convinced it’s still the best and most creative use of this newer storytelling device.
