Review of The Circle (2017) by Eludiumq36 — 01 Apr 2019
It's said "The Circle" is modeled after Google and that could be so, but that company exhibits the ambition and the total disregard for privacy of Facebook. In fact, there's a live-stream scene in the movie that ends tragically ala the Christchurch shooting that was livestreamed on FB.
The movie had a decent start/setup but then rushed at the end to make all its points. Because of that, it would've played better as a short 8-ep streaming series; instead, it sacrificed plausibility in order to complete its story within the short time allotted.
So yes, it gets kind of dumb at the end, but if you can look past that you can see the social-media run-amok dangers forecast back in the 2012/13 timeframe when this film was first discussed.
