Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
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.
Looking: The Movie cuts its fans, but in the same stroke, it comforts them, which outweighs its idiosyncratic missteps.
