    'Disconnect' (2013)

    It is ironic how social media claims to bring the world closer to you when in reality, it somehow disconnects you from your surroundings. The one-hour and 55-minute-long movie highlights the shocking reality of technology that often hampers our relationships with each other and potentially puts lives in danger. Interweaving multiple storylines, this psychological thriller features actor Jason Bateman.

Snowden, a brilliantly curated biopic, is sure to make you uncomfortable when, like the character in the movie, you will discover how colossal amounts of data are taken illegally from you.

    Fitting the frame of the current social media scenario, the movie Ingrid Goes West is a dark comedy, set against the backdrop of obsessing over social media influencers. Ingrid's obsession with stalking influencers leads her to Los Angeles where she meets Taylor and they become friends. Taylor soon realizes that this is not coincidental. It is interesting to see how things escalate quickly thereafter.

This movie is heavily based on the life of teenagers and an authentic experience.
