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

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Jackson Booth-Millard This was only the second I had seen a stand-up show by Eddie Izzard, and in his transvestite guise. Playing in Town Hall, New York City, he gives his usual abstract and amusing material, including his opinions and theories about Pope John Paul II, the Spanish Inquisition, Jerusalem and Jesus, and the future. Also with some bits about mad cows, the Renaissance period, Leonardo DiVinci and the Mona Lisa, and a good part near the end about Darth Vader on the Death Star. I didn't think this was as funny or fun to watch as Dress to Kill, but it does have its moments. Eddie Izzard was number 3 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups, and he was number 19 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!

Howlin Wolf ... or at least that's what the summary on my Sky+ (Tivo) said, so maybe it was hyperbole...I love "Dress to Kill", and the odd line or segment of this was funny, but too many times he didn't segue between topics very well. I know Eddie's style is supposed to be random but in "Dress to Kill" he usually tied his fantasy and surrealism back to a 'Big Overall Point'. I felt that he didn't really do that here and that there were too many 'awkward leaps' from one topic to another.It improved in this aspect as it went along, and the bit about the pagan vampires and cannibals incorporated into the Christian religion was very funny,(- Eat this cheese for it is my body. - But it's Judea, Dad. Cheese melts. - Alright then, "Eat this cheese for it is my central nervous system." Hmmmm. Alright, alright, "Now eat these chicken drumsticks, for they are my legs, eat these carrots, they are my arms, eat this tomato, it is my head, and eat these oysters, they are my kneecaps.")... but I felt almost as if Eddie were just hitting his stride right as the TV transmission ended.6/10 here versus 9/10 for "Dress to Kill"...

ellieford I know a lot of people say this ones really bad... but still I think it shows his comic genius anyways. There is so much great material, even though it does start out a bit slow. Plus I watched the behind the scenes footage and in the middle of the show there were technical difficulties and they had to have an intermission... so its kind of messed up, and they might have done too much editing. I wouldn't say its as good as Dress to Kill, but I think it is better than Unrepeatable. I haven't seen all of his stand up so i can't testify to all of the shows... its not his best but its definitely worth taking a look at!

Roisin Moriarty I can understand why die-hard Eddie fans are disappointed with "Circle" because it really isn't as fall-off-the-sofa-my-jaw-aches-omigawd-I-can't-breathe-for-laughing hilarious as the likes of "Dress to Kill" and "Glorious". However, there's still a good deal of intelligent and extremely funny observation going on here and, like all of his stand-up before it, it's worth it 'cause it's Eddie and a true fan doesn't need anymore than that as a guarantee. But even those not familiar with humour of the Izzardeque variety should find plenty to amuse them on this show. The signing with chimps ("gimme a f***ing banana"), monkeys with guns and Darth Vader trying to order penne arrabiata in the Death Star canteen are truly hilarious and just what we expect from our hero. Yes, there are some re-hashed lines but the same could be said for most stand-up comedians and besides, this was released over two years after it was filmed so there's bound to be stuff that we've heard before but seemed a lot fresher at the time.I agree with those who recommend that Izzard novices start out on the true path of comedy righteousness with "Dress to Kill", "Glorious" or "Unrepeateable" but if you've seen them and not "Circle" please don't pass it by because you've heard that it's no good. There's plenty in there to make you utter many a hearty titter and more than a few mighty chuckles and like a lot of Eddie's stuff it gets funnier with repeated viewings.
