Dopamine @ 2.22 Movie Review

Dopamine @ 2.22 follows seven individuals, each battling their own smartphone addictions, whose lives become intertwined around a murder set to happen at 2:22 PM. The film delves into how digital dependency pulls people into their own isolated worlds. From social media-obsessed couples to gossip-loving moms and gambling addicts, it showcases various facets of smartphone addiction.

The film has some interesting ideas, especially in how it explores the impact of technology on our daily lives. Certain one-on-one interactions feel genuine, with characters offering glimpses into the isolation caused by excessive screen time. However, group scenes occasionally feel awkward or forced.

Director Dhirav shows potential, delivering crisp visuals and good sound quality, despite limited resources. The confined setting doesn’t hinder the technical execution, which is quite commendable for a direct-to-OTT release.

While the film touches on important themes about the dangers of digital dependency, it falls short of delivering a cohesive message. The individual stories, while engaging, don’t fully come together in the end.

Overall, Dopamine @ 2.22 is a watchable film for those interested in how smartphones influence human behavior. It might especially resonate with viewers who recognize aspects of their own lives or relationships in the characters’ struggles.
