Filmology Rating: 3 out of 4

 

I’m usually very wary of movies with multiple interconnected stories, but Disconnect manages to keep four plotlines very clean but with tendrils reaching into the others just enough to keep a connection.  The use of technology as a catalyst in this film feels natural instead of forced or stale.  Jason Bateman plays the concerned parent to Jonah Bobo’s angsty teen convincingly, making me feel every emotion they both were experiencing as their worlds are turned upside down.  The second plotline includes Alexander Skarsgard and Paula Patton as a lonely couple whose identities are stolen, and they try to track down the identity thief.  The third story focuses on a television news reporter and a teenage online sex worker, trying to determine right and wrong together.  Lastly, an internet-crimes detective father and his teenage son struggle with connecting to each other.  I enjoyed this film and did not feel like I was being preached to or forced to believe anything about the use of technology in today’s society.
