Dependency

About This Movie

Dependency is an interesting take on modern life, particularly how tech impacts our relationships and identity. It dives into the psyche of this young man post-graduation—who knew his life would spiral into phone addiction? It’s got a light, comedic tone but underneath, it’s really exploring themes of isolation and connection in the digital age. The pacing feels pretty relatable, almost like a week in our own lives, with some laugh-out-loud moments that catch you off guard. Practical effects, while minimal, are cleverly done, enhancing the surreal moments as he interacts with his phone. Performances are solid, especially the lead, who brings an endearing awkwardness. It’s not your typical coming-of-age story, and that’s what makes it stand out.
