Extremely well-made contemporary drama & thriller

Disconnect is actually three interwoven stories all dealing with the search for a personal connection in a modern digitalized world. Yes this is a theme that has been filmed before but never has it been filmed in such a compelling manner. The ensemble acting team in this movie is excellent with all the actors breathing an authenticity into their characters. The kid actors are exceptional. The dialog is very real as well. And adding to the total package there's even a thriller component to it that keeps one's wholehearted interest in this nearly two-hour film. I doubt Disconnect finds a large audience but even so I highly recommend this film.
