Review:
Rubin managed to bring out powerful performances from the cast making
this potentially redundant and gratuitous film worth watching. The four
separate story lines basically preach that overuse of technology complicates or
ruins lives and human relationships. Despite this worn-out plot, the gritty and
in-your-face acting was anything but cliché. The characters’ multi-dimensionality
blurs the definition of good and bad. This aspect makes them more realistic and
relateable. Audiences are left in a contemplative state following the
unsatisfyingly satisfying conclusion of the movie.
