Men, Women and Children is a very complex narrative about the negative effects of modern technology and social media on our relationships and basic human interactions with each other. Director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) intertwines the stories of several parents and their teens with the common ground being the local high school ..

Written and directed by Ned Benson, “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby” (“Them” version) is a truly touching, thought provoking, and well acted movie that gives a “real life” glimpse of life, love, and loss.
