DISCONNECT (2013)
Some might find this movie about the often devastating effect modern technology has on the lives of ordinary people a bit far fetched. But, on the other hand, this must be one of the best social commentaries on this very relevant subject in recent years.
The plot is made up of seemingly unrelated vignettes that, through brilliant direction by Oscar nominated director Henry-Alex Rubin, are neatly drawn together in the end. When what seems to be an innocent childish prank on social media turns into tragedy, it is not only the life of the intended victim that changes irrevocably but also that of the young prankster. And then there is also the question of how mistaken internet identity can potentially lead to disaster.
This DVD is highly recommended for everybody who is engaged in social media on a regular basis. It is also nice to see young new talent as displayed by the likes of Max Theriot and Colin Ford. Watch it and see if you agree with my rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
