For fans, Looking‘s conclusion will be welcome. For the uninitiated, it’s a moodily made argument to check out a series that deserves a long afterlife. Read full review

It's all very naturalistic, and at times, a little slow. But the affectionate, accepting atmosphere casts a warm glow over everyone. Read full review

As the film finishes, there’s a desire to puzzle out Patrick’s life a little more, to give him the ending you think he deserves. And maybe a small wish that there would be just a bit more Looking left to see. Read full review

Haigh and Lannan raise a few compelling questions about our litmus test for happiness, and Groff deserves praise for pulling off a handful of sentimental climaxes. But there's a lingering sense that Looking used its rare second chance to purposefully leave its audience longing for closure that simply doesn't exist. [22/29 Jul 2016, p.96]

As a film, Looking: The Movie is really just a long episode of the series. It isn’t very well structured, is all talk and little drama, and bogs down halfway through because of the same insularity that made the second season pretty much a big shrug. Read full review

The movie was a perfect conclusion to a superb series as you will be able to see your favorite characters for one more time.
it doesn't start where season 2 left off and rather starts almost a year later and if you have followed the series the final scene will make you realise how muchThe movie was a perfect conclusion to a superb series as you will be able to see your favorite characters for one more time.
it doesn't start where season 2 left off and rather starts almost a year later and if you have followed the series the final scene will make you realise how much everyone has evolved.
This movie doesn't end like other final series where everything is packed up in a neat bow and after watching it you'll feel like the characters still live on long after you left.… Expand
