Chicago Sun-Times
Even when Disconnect follows the path we expect it to follow, it does so in a way that keeps us intensely engaged. There wasn't a moment during this movie when I thought about anything other than this movie. - 90
The New York Times
The film ominously conveys a world of too much information but too little communication, where people have become slaves to glowing hand-held devices that were designed to make life easier but have made it busier and more complicated. - 75
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It’s a blunt instrument of a movie, and often melodramatic. But it sometimes moves and often hits its target square on the nose. - 75
Observer
Despite occasional flaws, Disconnect is filled with fine performances, informed by an often sophisticated script and directed with passion. - 75
Rolling Stone
Bateman, in a rare dramatic role, is just tremendous, finding depths of emotion where they're least expected. Disconnect works they same way. Even when it trips on its ambitions, it hits home. - 63
Boston Globe
Disconnect is far from a bad movie. It’s just better at melodrama than drama. - 50
Variety
Well-meaning but dated and frequently risible issue-drama. - 50
Village Voice
Disconnect might play better a decade from now, when it's more clearly a compendium of contemporary fears rather than some dire expression of them.
