    It has the show’s virtues--its loose, casual vibe, the gorgeous San Francisco locations and the excellent performances by Mr. Groff and by Murray Bartlett, as Patrick’s levelheaded friend Dom. It also has its faults, including some surprisingly flat acting for an HBO project and a tendency to get dull when the script moves away from the personal and into the larger issues of the gay community. Those glitches are more noticeable in an 85-minute film than they were in half-hour weekly episodes.

    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.

    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.    … Full Review »
