Review of The Circle (2017) by Narrative M — 29 Aug 2018
Watch this if: You're all for intriguing, of-the-moment stories that ask something of you.
Part corporate melodrama and part cautionary tale, The Circle is a social media-era thriller named for a fictional Silicon Valley company that pushes the boundaries of privacy, morality, and civil liberties. Emma Watson stars as a new employee, who increasingly sees transparency - 24/7 body cameras, drones, and all - as a force for good, while Tom Hanks nails the role of the magnetic CEO. (You want to trust him, but can you?) Although it's far from a perfect film, we appreciated the questions it provoked, the main one being: What kind of world do you want to live in?
