The Circle

Hell, as much as I hate to admit it, I still struggle with not caring with what people thought of me, so honestly, that felt realistic to me. All in all, I really enjoyed the book, and it made me think a lot about the world we live in today. See all 3, reviews.

Eamon and Tom approve, but the suggestion upsets Annie. At the next company-wide meeting, Mae says that The Circle believes it can find anyone on the planet in under 20 minutes and introduces a program to find wanted felons in the same time frame. The program identifies an escaped prisoner within 10 minutes, which causes the Circlers in the audience to erupt in applause. Mae uses this successful test to suggest transparency can be a force for good.

Mae says that the program can find anyone, not just wanted felons, and someone suggests Mercer. Mae is initially hesitant to use the program to locate Mercer, but Tom persuades Mae to continue, asking if they can break their record of 10 minutes.

The Circle

Mercer is quickly located in an isolated cabin where he works on his antler projects. Startled by this, he flees from the cameras to his truck and proceeds to lead those tracking him on a car chase. Not long into the escape attempt, Mercer loses control of his truck and drives off a bridge to his death, which horrifies Mae. She is seen in bed, three days later, still mourning the loss of Mercer. She calls Annie, who has also left The Circle, to her apparent benefit. Mae, however, finds that connection with others helps her cope with Mercer's death.

Mae returns to the Circle, despite her parents' pleas.

Mae calls Ty to ask for a favor, and Ty tells her something that he has discovered. At the next company-wide meeting, Mae explains how connection has helped her recover. She speaks with Eamon, and invites Tom onstage, then invites both Eamon and Tom to go fully transparent. She explains that Ty has found all their accounts, even the accounts that their wives were unaware of, and exposes them to the world, as no one should be exempt.

In February , EuropaCorp acquired U. The Conclusion and The Boss Baby. The website's critical consensus reads, " The Circle assembles an impressive cast, but this digitally driven thriller spins aimlessly in its half-hearted exploration of timely themes. Glenn Kenny of The New York Times criticized the film for its repetitiveness and lack of originality: Eric Kohn of IndieWire awarded the film a C.

He was especially critical of the film's tonal inconsistencies: Robot to the parodic extremes of Silicon Valley. Gregory Wakeman of Cinema Blend panned the film, arguing that "the movie's grand philosophical debate is so simplistic and comes from two opposing and extreme sides of the spectrum that it's basically rendered mute. There are far too many moments where we find the core character in Mae Emma Watson figuring out what the issues throughout this company are.

Never once did I feel any sense of tension, which is a tragedy, due to the fact that the issues brought into the forefront are so interesting. Don't get me wrong here, because I didn't walk out of this film disliking it. I admired the premise greatly, it's just that they didn't do enough with it. When certain secrets are revealed and the emotional core is cranked up to eleven, The Circle does find certain moments to shine for its audience. Every performance here is note-worthy as far as this film goes, which in turn makes for a very watchable piece of film.

The mystery behind The Circle is truly what kept my interest, but it seems to be completely resolved without any big outbursts or any sort of loss. By the third act of this film, there is a pretty large incident that flips the film on its head, but it's very rapidly covered up. For myself, this event did nothing to serve the outcome of this film and The Circle truly has no definitive conclusion, which I found odd, considering the circumstances that are set-up throughout the third act.

When you watch a film with eons of potential, only to be served with a mediocre delivery, it seems like a huge cop-out for viewers. In the end, there are bigger disappointments out there for sure. Star Wars was nearly ruined at one point, which could've collapsed an entire franchise, or The Hobbit films not being as beloved as The Lord Of The Rings was troublesome as well. The Circle tries very hard to open the eyes of its audience, in order to show what we will be heading for in our near future, but there isn't nearly enough tension to carry this near two hour film.

Overall, I quite enjoyed the idea of the film, but everything about the film itself felt like it was holding itself back from something bigger. Some people may find themselves transfixed, but that is very far from the word I would use to describe this film.
