pretty decent low budget indie

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a look at a number of people with varying levels of introversion/extroversion and their resorting to the internet to fill some need in their lives that doesn't get addressed in their "real" lives. There is some happiness and relief in this, but for some, you can see the potential & real dangers of existing largely in an unreal world--if there is even one dishonest person.

Without spoiling much as this movie has not been seen widely: There are various interwoven stories, some by physical proximity, others by common internet interests.

The three most pressing stories: the masochist's search for a punisher and physical fulfillment; a disappointed-by-men female who hooks up with a eunuch; an agoraphobe who takes a liking to a neighbor guy who passes by her window. ALl starts out innocently and the almost "studenty" fraternity of the internet.

By far the best story is the Eunuch story--and indeed the acting is by far the most natural, and second was the masochist, excellent.

The ending was the only disappointment and I won't directly say it--there was someone who was deserving of a "cut" based on his dishonesty and his meeting with the unbalanced agoraphobe should have been sharper, pun intended. Could use a recut there.

Surreal music by Ella Blame.

Discover Me traces three atypical relationships formed by using Craig's List over the internet
miraclary19 September 2005
Discover Me has a cast of superb actors and a story line that is original, creative, and fascinating. The movie is a commentary on the power of the internet and the dangers of forming relationships based on online contacts. Discover Me builds in intensity as it reaches the end and the finale is shocking, but satisfying. I cannot say enough about the quality of the performances - this group of young actors is going to go far. The movie has a unique look to it and is definitely cutting edge. The writing, which weaves together three different story lines, rings true. Discover Me's amazing plot has not been replicated or even approached in other films or genres. This movie is a must see!!!
