After living in Denver for nearly a year, Patrick Murray (Jonathan Groff) returns to San Francisco to celebrate the wedding of old friends.

Critics Consensus

Touching and profound, Looking: The Movie puts a bittersweet conclusion to the too-soon-gone HBO series with humor and hopeful tenderness, even if its structure is slightly wobbly.

Looking has always come alive in visuals, and The Movie is a beautiful parting shot.

New York Times

In a show about loneliness and friendship, it helps to have two actors who can so easily convince us that they're the greatest of friends.

The movie makes anybody who watches it at least glimpse the deeper, disconcerting, questions.

Attitude

Its subtle observation and commentary on the gay community, whilst at times flawed, was always intriguing, and often heart-warming.

Rated: 4/5

If you liked Looking the TV series, you'll be largely satisfied by the wrap-up movie - which was previewed at Outfest 2016 ahead of its HBO premiere. If you didn't like Looking the TV series, the wrap-up movie won't change your mind about the series.

Rated: 3.5/5

Look, I love this series to death. It should never have been axed. I just feel that the movie tried to cover an entire seasons worth of content and it is a cram fest. I don't blame the production crew, they would have been trying to do their best under trying circumstances.

Tal y como imaginaba el final. Perfecto. Demasiado corta.

I'm still really sad that this series was not renewed by HBO for at least another season. The movie was deeply emotional but wasn't enough. The richly poignant stories felt clipped and unfinished. I wanted more. What an incredible cast and a stunningly atmospheric setting. I feel in love with everything about this show and miss it. I was slightly disappointed with the ending ... and while I am grateful that we got the movie to tie up the loose ends, I was left feeling like the stories were unfinished somehow. Still a remarkable show ... groundbreaking and utterly lovely. I will forever be #teamkevin ... love wins!
