About This Movie

Screen Time dives into this oddball world where a teen feels like a ghost among his friends, all glued to their screens. It’s got this quirky, almost absurd atmosphere that really captures the disconnection we sometimes feel in such a hyper-connected age. The pacing flits between frantic attempts to engage and awkward silences that feel painfully real. The performances are quite engaging; you can sense the desperation in the main character but also the obliviousness of his friends. What stands out is the use of practical effects to illustrate his increasingly bizarre strategies to grab their attention. There’s a sense of both humor and melancholy as it plays with themes of digital alienation. Not the usual comedy fare, that's for sure.
