i want you to notice when I'm not around

I think David Fincher is going to hit this baby out of the park. It's been mentioned that this is part legal drama, part coming-of-age story, but it's clear that they're reaching in a little deeper to capture what's changing in our world because of social media. A film that could easily be seen as merely topical or trendy may instead excel at depicting what's at the heart of 21st century communication - the desire to be truly heard. To me, that's actually cool.
