Unplugging

About This Movie

Unplugging is a comedic exploration of modern connectivity—or lack thereof. Set in a rural retreat devoid of any digital distractions, it follows Dan and Jeanine Dewerson, a couple whose marriage is more about charging devices than each other. The film cleverly plays with themes of disconnection in a digital age, not just from technology but from one another. Debra Neil-Fisher directs with a light touch, though the pacing sometimes falters in the middle. You get these moments of genuine humor interspersed with a suffocating sense of nostalgia for what relationships used to be. The performances feel authentic, capturing the awkwardness and desperation of a couple trying to rekindle their romance. It's a quirky piece, a little unpredictable, and definitely something that stands out in the landscape of contemporary comedies.
