It’s exactly the company you’ve always wanted to work for!
A pair of cheerleaders pressure Mae into filling out profiles, reading and sending emails, and participating in every event (not that it is mandatory, participation is at her own discretion, but she was missing from all of the events on her first weekend!). The charismatic-but-a-touch-geeky Steve-Jobs-aping CEO Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks) leads weekly sermons promoting new invasive products, like the SeeChange, a network of tiny internet cameras that can be surreptitiously installed all around the world in an array of camouflaging colors. The Circle has a private campus where they have doctors, stores, night clubs and concerts by Beck. Mae Holland (Emma Watson) is an impoverished college graduate who, through the help of her friend (yay networking!), gets a job at The Circle, a fictional company that operates like an amalgam of Facebook, Google, and Apple. The Circle (2017) is a sci-fi drama based on a David Egger’s book ruminating about our willingness to sacrifice privacy to corporate overlords and what big data means to our human connections. The Circle (2014) is a touching Swiss docudrama about one of Europe’s first homosexual publications and one of the EU’s first gay marriages. Circle (2015) is a hard-driving low-budget sci-fi flick about 50 people who are abducted by aliens and forced to kill each other.
MOUSTERPIECE CINEMA MOVIE
First, a caveat…this website isn’t very old, and this is the third movie to be reviewed titled either Circle or The Circle.
