Rethink How You 'Connect'
Unknown - wrote on 09/21/13
'Disconnect' is an effective three story drama with a message. The multiple threads manage to coincide without any missteps in narrative. Each one is given equal screen time and reaching a deserved emotional climax. The runtime is surprisingly short for this type of film (under two hours). This provides no unnecessary elongated scenes. Every moment counts. Though, one of the three stories is stronger than the other two, in terms of dramatic weight. There is much to be said and learned from the experiences of these characters through their online interactions, but it's nothing that even the most unversed computer user couldn't understand. The emotional connect didn't come through for me until the finale. I felt each story ended perfectly for what they were building to. The rest is more likened to separate episodes of a good television drama.
