Circle Ratings & Reviews
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024Really interesting movie throughout. It really keeps you hooked and instead of depending on the gore like many other movies in this genre, it instead investigates how humans really treat each other and how we see each other and how we throw around guilt. It becomes a game of pointing fingers and that turns out surprisingly entertaining.
- RavlorJune 28, 2025The idea and concept of the movie is thrilling and interesting. The execution is not. Sci-fi-thrillers often play with psychological ideas and put them in a theoretical reality. "What if this or that happend?" That is why I love them. Unfortunately Circle doesn't live up to the concept and only delivers underperformed acting and clunky dialogue that really feels constructed. I'd watch The Exam instead.
- Nathan DeschenesMarch 3, 2025I don't think it does enough to expand on the concept to stay interesting. So it unfortunately gets a bit stagnant and boring. - Alternative Recomendation - Cube (1997) Not the same story but definitely the vibe i wish this was.
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 27, 2025Fantastic watch, will watch again, and can recommend if you're okay with on screen death and philosophical debate or game theory. (Think "Saw 2" with no gore.) It is always impressive when someone creates a good movie that occurs in a single location. Under the premise of alleged aliens abducting group of people forced to play a death game, we get to see what humans intend to do without authority in a structured environment. This movie is very "Twilight Zone". It's hard to cast for 50 "leads", and the "leads" kind of shift and rotate about during the game as people become targeted, but most of the actors in the game give a serviceable delivery in their roles, and while the production value is definitely there, you can tell that there just wasn't much necessary past the set and the kill mechanism. Hell, this looks so affordable, you could probably turn it into a regular show: there are party games with similar concepts. There isn't much to say without spoiling other than this is a lot of talking: literally discussing who should live and who should die. While I find such things fascinating, other people may want to watch romance or explosions, and there are plenty of those movies out there too.
