  • 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?
