This movie approaches a multitude of situations any of us could encounter in today's world. We often think tragedy only strikes others, so it is definitely food for thought.Disconnect addresses situations we are all aware of but probably don't pay much attention to, as they are outside our little bubble. The movie confronts you with those awful situations and asks you what you would do in those characters' situation.The directing was very good. I can tell there was a lot of thought put into the set according to each particular characters' situations and even filming each scene.Pretty much the only downsides I found were the couple dealing with the loss of their son – they felt like strangers well before that event, it's like the husband's military past did not even happen up to that point, for example -, and the FBI being so inefficient felt like a plot device to get things to where they needed to be for dramatic potential. Also, I had trouble dealing with the slow pace.It makes sense because there are several different stories happening at the same time and due to the reality of the situations. There are no car chases or big explosions here, this is real life.The stories reach their climax in slow motion scenes but I just could not feel the impact as expected, for some reason. I guess I found the build up to some of them either too slow or that it did not have enough background/development or I just wanted more.Still, Disconnect is a very heartbreaking, real movie. The ending was just as realistic and I believe it is something everyone should watch, from as young as teenagers.

This film tells the story of a group of individuals who forms human interactions online, but all of these connections somehow lead to some sort of tragedy or another.The plot summary really does not do "Disconnect" any justice. I have not expected the plot to be so brilliant. It follows a lawyer, a reporter, a teenager and a young couple who have communication problems with other people. They appear to have found solace online, but little do they know, they have brought in consequences they have not dreamed of. As the plot unfolds, it gets more engaging, making me glued to the screen to find out what will happen. The film leads me to believe that everything will end horribly, which makes me even more engrossed by the story. Though it is not exactly a Hollywood ending, it gives a sort of relief, some closure to the events that happens. It brings people closer, but under the wrong circumstances.I really enjoyed "Disconnect". It is a thought provoking tragedy.

ends up being an unwatchable, embarrassing after-school special warning about "kids today" and the dangers of all their new-fangled technology. This is (relatively) highly-rated here and I actually found it on a site recommending lesser-known, offbeat movies, but I honestly had to fast-forward through about 40% of it. If you believe my review is thus unfair, you are of course welcome to view the whole thing. Personally, I found the presentation insipid: schmaltzy music, predictable "story" (such as it was), forgettable characters, offensively old-fashioned ideas (just as Requiem for a Dream was a latter-day Reefer Madness, this hackneyed film is yet another dire warning against the dangers of technology), etc. A waste of time, talent, and money.

In the first 20 minutes it had very intense explicit sexual material that I felt the movie was going no where good. However, the film actually got better to turn to be a great movie. The film deserves its IMDb 7.6 I have special admiration for the music theme, it is really great. No big stars, the most famous actor in the movie was Paula Patton, doesn't this say enough? The real star of the movie in my opinion is editing. In such movies where there are more than one parallel story and more than one parallel scenario, it is editing that make such movie seems as good as t looked it is definitely a recommended one, but only if you can get by the first 20 minutes enjoy A final point: The film raises a very important point as a matter of fact. How do we treat our kids and make sure they are OK in a world where danger can come through a cord? We need to think about this question a bit... It is sure easy to unplug the cord, but would this solve the problem? are we friends enough with them?
