"A drama centered on a group of people searching for human connections in today’s wired world.”
It’s always interesting for me to watch a multi plot movie. This one has successfully become my favourite. I like the ambiguity of the title. It’s about family, friends, couple, father and son, a journalist and her interviewee, the all at first seem connected, by blood or friendship, by relationship or work, but from deep down inside they are all disconnected. But all of the stories are somehow connected to each other.
Disconnect', Henry Alex Rubin emphasised it by putting the same slow motion effect on each climax scene of each stories, that somehow gave an instant anxious feeling of what’s gonna happen to them after this. This part is my favourite.What really caught my attention is how every director would summarise the climax of the story in a multi plot movie. In '
Despite of how the director’s putting up the story together, I think each actors and actresses gave a wonderful performance. I also like the film songs and film scores. Max Richter did a great job.
In the end, this movie is worth for you to watch. Very interesting and wouldn’t disappoint you.
