As a Hitchcockian thriller with a slippery hero, this film can be ruthlessly effective.

| Jul 31, 2023

If “Susie Searches” wanted to critique the true-crime podcast trend, it could have done so more directly. For now, we have a movie at odds with itself and its main character.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 28, 2023

Despite its narrative shortcomings, the film builds a tense and mischievous mood that acts as its hook.

The lasting impression is a missed opportunity.

| Jul 26, 2023

In its quest to riff on Hitchcock and have a #unlikeablefemaleprotagonist, it becomes one of the most insidious works of police propaganda I've seen in recent years.

Even during its bumpiest bits, Susie Searches is a smartly savage and satisfying ride.

The film is not a failure in toto, but its failure to launch can only be credited to Kargman.

| Sep 13, 2022

“Susie Searches” aims to be about loss and loneliness, and isolation and recognition. But spins its wheels toward mediocrity, instead.
