Good concept, poorly executed.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreI loved the show; and I am thankful for the movie, simply for closure- but yes, the movie was very boring. It felt like a long flat episode. Wish it would have been epic.
View MoreSomeone recommend me this movie, I am not a fan of gay films, I watch all kind of movies with open mind in order to increase the list of movies to improve myself as a critic. This is nothing compared with "Call me By Your Name", genuine, natural and emotional-arousing film. Looking is about a snob group of gays, some are abnormal abominable and "terrorists" of normal things. Genderless people that want to be kings? Give a me a break. What happened with HBO when it was serious? This "film" is BORING, OVERRATED, A BAD BAD VERSION OF QUEER AS FOLK, ALSO IS SHALLOW, UNINTYERESTING, FLAT AND CHEESY. Skip it at all cost.
View MoreI think that there already is enough said what "Looking" is all about. I must admit, that I really loved the series because of its authenticity, its good story and its extremely well done acting. I still don't understand why it was canceled after season 2. There was an (typical) open end and we all assumed and looked forward to a third season. Instead there was a movie made to close a chapter (like Patrick is saying in the movie). The problem is, that 80 minutes are not enough to close the chapter of four or five people. So the story is a little bit to much focused on Patricks character - but, so what? In the end we won't get anything new and the way the story ends is disappointing, because it's not what we would have liked to see. Kevin is the word! And that brings me to the ulti-mate highlight of the movie. Talking about love scenes in movies, like "Gone with the wind" or "Love Story" or "Titanic". Well - watch Russell Tovey in "Looking" and add this to the others. He only needs five words to say ("Why? - Because I love you"), a hug, a kiss, a touch and a look to create the most heartrending love scene I ever had the privelege to watch. He's only got about ten minutes of the entire movie on screen - but what ten minutes !! Enough to break ones heart. Giving a very strong performance throughout the whole series, this man is an acting genius and that's what makes it worth to watch this movie.
View MoreThese last few weeks I watched all of looking and its movie, and I can safely say that there aren't a lot of shows out there that were able to touch me as much as this did. This film does a really fantastic job of allowing us closure on the events of the season 2 finale while seemingly exploring the ideas and themes that made the show stand out as much as it did. Jonathan Groff's work throughout the series really deserved to be praised. He makes it all look incredibly easy but going on this journey must not have been easy, and his effortless charm, longing, and internal emoting really make it an incredible performance that will be hard to forget. I will miss this show and its character dearly.
