DISCONNECT [2013]

Director Henry Alex Rubin's Disconnect is a riveting drama that does a fantastic job at intertwining several seemingly unrelated stories into a intense tale about the horrors of modern day technological communication.
At times it gets a bit too "preachy" and occasionally a bit heavy on the drama but it's perfect pacing and ensemble cast keep it from never getting boring.
It's infuriating, heartbreaking, morally confusing and when it all comes down to it asks the viewer to compassionately look at humanity from all different angles whether you want to or not.  
Definitely a film that wholeheartedly deserves more attention than it's woefully received.
