Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The plot is okay, but the film gets worse and worse after the 30 minute mark. This movie is slow, boring, and underwhelming. The climax is incredibly overhyped. Plus, the low buget vibes and below average acting makes this film very hard to watch.

Just amazing!!!! This had all the elements of surprise and amazing twists. Human nature and decision making under duress has been showed flawlessly. The promise of greater good just to attain selfish gains, group psychology but the best moments were still the humanity that shines through, the brave heroes who are Gods in themselves...just amazing...ten stars!!! People who are giving this movie low ratings maybe just couldn't digest this situation or couldn't follow the decision makings and the dialogue...any way...u people suck! If you are sitting down to write a review, perform that duty honorably and truly. This movie doesn't deserve less than an 8 or 9, and for me it was a tenner!

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.

I really want to imagine that this movie was pitched after the writers went through some internet comment forums, took the most common themes of moral argument, re-imagined them in a life or death scenario, and scripted out who would ultimately be left alive. Then the CEO boss people told them that the movie needed some context, and they panicked and chose aliens.Luckily for them I love reading comment wars, so I enjoyed this movie just to hear the people arguing with each other over who deserved to live. I think it could've been a really good movie if they had put just a little more effort into the background story and characters. Although I do think it managed to get across quite nicely how easily we sentence people to judgment based on very fast and surface level interactions.I did think it was a fairly realistic representation of how people generally think, however I did not buy at all that it was how most normal people put in that situation would actually act. For starters, I imagine there would be a LOT more confusion and panic at first and people fainting, puking, and accidentally killing themselves by leaving their circle. I would also like to think there would be at least a few more people out of 50 who would refuse to play along with voting for others to die...Anyway, decent movie, probably worth a watch on a lazy weekend evening, but I'm not going to go around recommending it to everyone.
