Looking: O Filme

These 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.

I admit, i hated patrick murray's character in the tv series - here, he is everything i want to be and more: swooping in private jets, stealing hearts and men. definitely watching this again!!

This movie was a perfect closure to the short lived Looking series. All of the main characters get their arcs, we know what place they are in their lives and it gives you hope. The movie takes us on a whirlwind of emotions as Dom,Agustin & Patric prepare for Agutin's nuptiuals. The storyy never gets cliche or boring. All actors must be praised for their amazing work. And the last few scenes are so beautiful, you're going to rewatch them several times.

I 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.

I 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.
