Somewhere between the production of this film and its reception by massive numbers of people, there was a disconnect. And that is huge shame! Screened at both Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, Disconnect is one of the best films of the year! And no one has seen it! Directed by Henry Alex Rubin, this timely film intertwines three stories where the characters collide in a web of choices and consquences. Disconnect is unashamedly provocative and emotionally powerful as it immerses you in a world driven and controlled by technology and the potential dangers that accompany it. In a world chracterized by greater access, flimsy relationships, and little accountability, Disconnect strikes a chord that cannot be ignored.
The cast is superb, the soundtrack is perfectly complimentary, the script is solid, the characters are believable...the list goes on and on.
Disconnect is an absolute MUST-SEE, especially if you have children. If you feel they are mature enough to handle the subject matter, watch it with them. Disconnect will promote meaningful and needed converation for families looking to protect themselves from such dangers. NOTE: This film is rated R and features adult language, nudity, drug use, and disturbing scenes. Just because I encouraged you to watch it with your kids, I didn't want you to confuse it with a family film.
