YMMV / Disconnect

• Anvilicious: The movie isn't exactly subtle in its messages about the downside of technology.
• Broken Aesop: Several viewers have pointed out the somewhat problematic ending of Kyle and Nina's story, in which Kyle rejects Nina's offer of help and leaves with Harvey and the other kids to presumably continue his life as a camwhore. This gives the impression that the entire story was trying to say "don't try to help teens in this life because they're happy as they are".
• He Really Can Act: Not that he was considered a bad actor before this but most people really only knew Jason Bateman from his more comedic roles. This movie proved that he was just as good a dramatic actor as he is a comedian.
• Jerkass Woobie: Pretty much everyone but Jason is probably a shining example of this: he's a bully who goads a classmate into sending him a lewd picture of himself and subsequently distributes it around their school just for staring at him, but his mother is dead and he has a difficult relationship with his father, and feels incredibly guilty after his actions cause Ben to hang himself.
• Signature Scene: The slow-mo climax of each of the stories.
• Tear Jerker: This is not a happy movie, so there's quite a few:
  • Cindy and Derek's backstory of having a baby who subsequently died, especially when we see home videos of them with the baby.
  • Ben's reaction to the trolling comments on his picture and his message to "Jessica" ('why???'), as well as his refusal to talk to his parents about it can be this to anyone who's been cyberbullied.
  • Everyone's reaction to Ben hanging himself.
  • The fact that none of the storylines are actually truly resolved by the end.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: With none of the three stories really having any happy moments, this can happen to some viewers.
