When Mae [Emma Watson] is hired to work for the world’s largest and most powerful tech and social media company, she sees it as an opportunity of a lifetime. As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company’s founder, Eamon Bailey [Tom Hanks], to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom. Her participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes, begin to affect the lives and future of her friends, family and that of humanity.
Insider’s tip: “The paranoia underlined, high-lighted and foot-noted by an over-reaching satire like The Circle seems more reasonable by the minute” (Roger Moore, Movie Nation). Owen Gleiberman, Variety adds: “The Circle is a swankly sinister little mind teaser of a thriller. It’s a nightmare vision of what digital culture is turning all of us into, with all of our help . . . ; it’s a cautionary tale for the age of social-media witch hunts and compulsive over-sharing.” Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: “The Circle, based on Dave Eggers’ novel, is as chilling as the most frightening horror movie. Yet the world it depicts is practically our world, just a tiny leap into the near future.”
