I just saw the movie The Circle with a friend of mine. And well... it's different.
From the cinematography point of view it was well shot, and had nice colors. Emma Watson stars in this film, and in a way she is sort of an anti-hero/hero, her character sort of goes back and forth on this. The film is directed by James Ponsoldt, he is also the director of the movie, The Spectacular Now. I'm not quite sure if the director was 100% into this project, while the acting was taken seriously, some of the lines came off stale from a secondary character. I'm not sure if that was the fault of the actor, the writer, or the director, but perhaps they could have all have tried a little more than they did in the film.
Regarding Emma Watson's accent, she goes for an american accent and for the most part pulls it off, but once and awhile you can hear her british accent trying to crack through.
Tom Hanks is also in this picture. He plays a secondary character, which he plays pretty good. Towards the end of the film he delivers a line that I must say was really well said.
I don't really have anything to say about the music in the film, as I barely noticed it in the first place.
The movie's trailer gives off this creepy vibe of you being watched. Yet the film itself struggles to replicate the feeling of the trailer.
It's somewhat obvious the film is talking about the issue of privacy. For most of the film it tries to remain consistent on the message it is trying to send. Yet by the end of it, it's more muddy by what it's trying to tell people than the movie intends.
the movie started out with me at a 3 then part way through it went to a 3.5, but in the end the movie isn't nothing more than something you would turn on as background noise,while you are working on something else.
finale score: 3/5
