See AlsoLoopnet Pricing 2022“The Circle,” a thriller directed by James Ponsoldt, follows Mae Holland (played by Emma Watson) as she enjoys the advantages and discovers the faults of working at the world's largest and most innovative technology company called The Circle. The company is led by Eamon Bailey (played by Tom Hanks). The story, based off of Dave Eggers' 2013 novel of the same name, takes place in Silicon Valley and explores the ethical dilemmas concerning privacy and freedom in today's digital age. When the film begins, Holland works as a customer service employee at a small, mundane company, but soon into the movie, she receives an interview at The Circle. Shortly after receiving a job in Customer Experience for the company, Holland climbs the company's ranks, and she becomes a leading image of the business after agreeing to go “transparent,” meaning she would wear a small video camera and livestream her entire day on a global scale. She continues to become an integral member of The Circle, eventually suggesting new ideas and programs herself. The company capitalizes on slogans such as “Knowing is good but knowing everything is better” and “Secrets are lies” to promote their latest product See Change, which was created off of the idea that humans act more responsibly when being watched or recorded as they are being held accountable for their actions. Ultimately, the product is a huge violation of one's privacy, yet is widely popular amongst most communities in the movie. More frighteningly,...

Let’s cut to the chase: The Circle is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It’s so shockingly flat, logically flawed, emotionally vapid, and astoundingly awkward that its end credits felt like a cruel prank. How is it possible that this movie stars such charming screen presences as Emma Watson, Karen Gillan, John Boyega and Tom Fucking Hanks, and is still less exciting than watching broadcast static? How has it passed that Dave Eggers wrote humane and daring books like Zeitoun, What Is The What, and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, only to create a story and adapted screenplay this tone-deaf and bland? How is it possible that acclaimed indie director James Ponsoldt gave us the sparkling Spectacular Now, the stirring Smashed, and the challenging End of Tour only to seem to forget everything he knew about human emotion, character arcs, and simple film structure to create this? How was $18 million spent on an independent film this short-sighted and stupid?
