Disconnected

About This Movie

Disconnected is a rather intriguing documentary that captures the raw essence of three Carleton College students deciding to unplug from the digital world. It paints a pretty vivid picture of life without the constant buzz of social media and email. The pacing is steady, allowing us to really sit with their struggles and triumphs. You get this nice blend of tension and introspection as they navigate their daily tasks. There's this underlying theme of dependency on technology, and it's quite striking how it reveals their character. The performances feel genuine—it's like you're right there with them. It's distinctive in its simplicity, showcasing real reactions and challenges in a world that’s so plugged in.
