Critics Consensus

Susie Searches is clever and frequently fun, although its jumbled tone and increasingly hard-to-believe story undercut overall enjoyment.

It's a great movie and just when it's almost over, and just when the kidnapper/murderer seems to have gotten away...perhaps justice will be served.

(Spoilers ahead!) I was enjoying this.. until I found out that Suzie kidnapped the boy! I can't watch a movie about a character that selfish.

It's a movie…. I left the movie being like "okay well that happened" The actors are great, but I still don't know what I was supposed to feel for the characters or what the movie was trying to portray…

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Susie Searches is a solid fun and entertaining mystery thriller that works largely because of Kiersey Clemons' portrayal of a compelling central character. Narratively speaking, it could have benefited from further refinement and elaboration, however, the film is clever enough to build tension and a malicious mood.

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF SEEING THIS MOVIE PLEEASE SEE IT! I thought it would be for kids even teenagers but adults can easily see this movie; the background music is terrific it gives you chills throughout the movie, the way susie and jessie's expressions are so masterfully done, it's fast paced , no nudity just straight to the point i wish more movies would be made like this; its perfect for those who want to be spooked but not to the level of scary faces; the ending was icing on the top

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

What a fun movie! Weird, dark humor. It was very typical of a movie audiences love but snotty critics hate.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

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

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.

Rated: 1/4

New York Times

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

A Good Movie To Watch

Though it may play better with younger audiences, anyone else will likely find its promising cast to be the biggest red herring of all.

Meanders around the "little white lie" narrative archetype not offering enough wit or engaging storytelling to compel you through it.

A pleasant, if sometimes slight black comedy on a young woman's obsessive quest for appreciation.
