The Disintegration is a by-the-numbers fictional account of a disillusioned young French Muslim man of Arab ethnicity, who is recruited by an extremist faction. Without sensationalizing the issue or getting melodramatic or emotional, the movie does well to present an issue of socio-political significance in a matter-of-fact way. The director does not take sides, and has no agenda to dig into the causes of the issue or the possible solutions. The point of the movie is to reveal what really goes on, as a thought & discussion point. Therefore, it works as a social commentary. The craft of the director and production values combined with a short running time ensure the movie stays an interesting watch.
