The Circle

Starring Emma Watson, Tom Hanks. Director James Ponsoldt.

Techno thriller which floats some impressive ideas but still flounders because of the improbable behaviour of all involved. It centres on a young woman who lands what seems to be a dream job at The Circle, the world’s most powerful social media and tech company. But what could have been a telling insight into the encroachment of social media into our daily lives becomes a confused ‘big brother is watching you’.
