Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

isaacridgwell The movie starts off with 50 random people waking up in a strange room. They all have to stand on red spots, if they move from that position they instantly die. Every 1-2 minutes one of them dies. Eventually the group find out that they can vote on who dies, and this ensues a deadly wheel of fortune. The premise of the show is very interesting and the way the story progresses is thrilling. There are many different social issues explored throughout the movie as well, some are presented much better than others. Themes such as affluence, racism and what people would do to survive are very clear throughout the film.This is not an A-Class film however. This shows. The cinematography is not that great, the technological aesthetic isn't very appealing, the dialogue can come off as very fake and the acting is mediocre to awful. Altogether this is a pretty interesting film and could be put on in the background whilst doing another activity (as it's mostly dialogue).

Jim Gaffke I do not write many reviews because I feel movies are personal, not technical. I love many movies that have gotten horrible reviews and I dislike many that have gotten great reviews. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But this movie takes the prize. It's pointless. It's stupid. There is nothing to like about it. I only watched it because one of my favorite actresses was in it. Why was she in it??? Who knows, it surely wasn't to pad her resume. I kept hoping something cool would happen or some awesome/shocking twist at the end. Nope...neither. Horrible movie. Waste of time. Garbage. I'm sure this review will make many watch it... hey, I do it myself. So....enjoy. LOL

mariakmariak An allegorical schematic which reveals the true face of people when they have the dilemma to benefit or save either themselves or others.

NormanCroucher An extremely effective low-budget antidote to all the leviathan- sized sci-fi movies out there. This places 50 people in a circle and asks of them: who deserves to live and who deserves to die? Such a premise is so simple, it's almost revolutionary.This is a story of morality and how human beings deal with the imminent threat of dying, and it explores the diverse range of reactions, emotions and manipulations that exist on the spectrum. From desperation to condemnation, prejudice to privilege, hysteria to acceptance; there's an honesty at work in how the characters deal with their predicament and choices, and it's often an ugly truth to accept. To the credit of the writing/directing team Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione, they never shy away from showing just how petty and selfish the human race can be.The performances are mostly excellent across a cast of predominantly unknown faces and the script manages to keep up the pace and tension without ever slipping too far into contrivance. Usually the danger of films like this (set in a single location) is that they tend to suffer from either bad production values or run out of ideas towards the third act. Thankfully, 'Circle' embraces its beautifully minimalist style for the better and stays true to its premise right through until the very (bitter) end.
