CGiii Comment
What an interesting film...
On paper...this would sound...dull...but, it's not - thanks to the performances and the tension...think, menacing.
It asks: what would you do in the same position? Sacrifice yourself for an unknown greater good...or, jump feet first into the self-preservation vat. Is a child or a pregnant woman more important than yourself?!?
The lesbian storyline is handled well...less, more, the same as any other human being?!?
As a comment on our individual worth...it makes you think.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes, one of them must die... executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first, the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed. A vote. A chance to control the machine. But how can they choose who deserves to die? And what happens when there's only one person left? Circle is a film about people, how they value one another, and what they do under the worst possible circumstances. A film about what makes us human - who we are, what we believe, and ultimately, the lengths we will go to save ourselves.
