Search Engines

About This Movie

Search Engines is an indie comedy-drama that dives into the chaos of a family Thanksgiving without their usual tech distractions. Think about it: no cell service! It creates this raw atmosphere where everyone’s forced to confront not just their personal issues, but also each other. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the awkward tension. You get these moments of humor mixed with genuine emotional weight—grief, anger, and really uncomfortable truths bubble to the surface. The performances, while not from blockbuster names, are surprisingly relatable and real. It’s a film that plays on the idea of technology as a crutch—once it’s gone, the family dynamics shift in unpredictable ways. Worth a watch for those who appreciate character-driven stories.
