   Apr 28, 2017 · James Ponsoldt’s film based on Dave Eggers’ same-titled 2013 book has a lot of good ideas and a few engrossing sequences, but it never quite finds a groove, or even a mode, and it ends in an abrupt, unsatisfying way.

   Sep 16, 2020 · The best thing about “The Circle,” the dystopian social media-on-steroids drama starring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks, is that you now can watch it as part of a double feature with Netflix’s new “The Social Dilemma,” and consider how much of the movie is coming horribly true.

   The modern technological tug-of-war between privacy and security is a real and significant issue. The version of that conflict in the film version of The Circle is bland, neutered, and cartoony.

   Apr 27, 2017 · May 2, 2017. A film review on Friday about “The Circle,” an adaptation of the Dave Eggers novel, misstated the year the book was released. It was 2013, not 2014. When we learn of a mistake, we ...

   Is 'The Circle' a good movie?

   • The Circle was not an objectively good movie for Adi Robertson, but he found himself drawn to its absurd, simplistic dystopian elements. He had previously found Dave Eggers' prose in the book 'unbearable', but he enjoyed Tom Hanks' avuncular villain performances.

   Is 'the circle' a good movie about privacy?

   • The Circle's portrayal of privacy issues seems insufficient. At the very least, a movie about privacy should acknowledge things like doxxing and the anti-government surveillance movement in Silicon Valley, if only to dismiss them. But The Circle reduces humanity to sinister techies, credulous progressive sheeple, and off-the-grid objectors.

   Is 'The Circle' based on a true story?

   • The Circle is openly modeled on George Orwell’s 1984, but the film version feels like 1984 would be if the events described in the story never actually occurred in reality and the characters, such as Julia, were just figments of the protagonist's imagination. The screen adaptation is weightless and insular, focusing mainly on the discussions among tech people about their desires for world domination.

   What is missing from The Circle (movie and book)?

   • In The Circle, people and governments not only consent to their craziness, but they celebrate and applaud its genius. This is a big thing that is missing from the film and book. A sense of resistance and dissent is absent. People just bend over and let the Circle do what it wants to do to them with a smile on their faces.
