Critics Consensus

It's didactic in spots and melodramatic in others, but Disconnect's strong cast helps make it a timely, effective exploration of modern society's technological overload.

Come on, guys: There's nothing cinematic about Googling.

Sensitive performances from the entire cast are absorbing, especially Jason Bateman in his first full-on dramatic role.

Deep Focus Review

Disconnect is brilliantly acted and staggeringly emotional, and it leaves you feeling guilty for every text, email, and Facebook post made after viewing.

Rated: 4/4

Assignment X

Disconnect has suspense, grace and ultimately a sense of connection, all of which make it worth seeing.

Rated: B+

Disconnect offers an important message... But it's not the full story of the power of the Internet.

Filme: Os Desconectados Assistido: 25-12-24 Elenco: @jasonbatemanupdates @alexskarsgardlove @hopedaviss @maxthieriot @paulapattonofficial @jonah.bobo @andreariseborough @frankgrillo1 Modelo: #drama #vidareal #suspense Duração: 2h Ano: 2012 Minha opinião: Um filme reflexivo, da atualidade que vivemos. Temos uma sociedade em transformação neste mundo da informática, da internet tem mudado a vida de milhares de pessoas. Onde a internet tem afetado a vida de pessoas de forma positiva e negativa. Viver hoje no mundo da internet é fato e isso não podemos ignorar, pois faz parte de nossas vidas. Otimizando e auxiliando, mas também pode virar nossas vidas de cabeça para baixo. E é oque este filme retrata. Desde sites de menores, bulling, jogos de azar, traições e golpes de cartões,..... E o filme retrata muito bem isso. E mais o filme se aprofunda em realação de um casal que estava se deteriorando por perda de um filho e o marido viciado em jogos e a mulher solitária tendo relacionamento virtual. Relacionamento de pai e filho que vive de forma solitária e recebe bulling na escola. E de jovens que são enganados para entrar na vida de sites pornográficos. E a consequência de tudo isso é que existe consequência. Roteiro e enredo muito bom e principalmente, reflexivo. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 8

Interesting little drama with a thriller, and vigilante twist. They tie together all the story lines seamlessly and overall this is a really good movie, well acted and directed as well. The whole grief parts can be boring at times but all the parents seeking justice (or revenge) , makes it all worth it!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I'm a sucker for bringing a slew of characters in on a common theme. Disconnect harps on the importance of family, of knowing and seeing your loved ones through struggle.

Phenomenal film. Great acting all round from a superb cast. The intertwining storylines are all gripping and suspenseful and superbly and sensitively handled (reminds me a little of the equally excellent Crash and Happiness). A totally absorbing film and a must see.
