I don't understand why the reviews for this movie were so bad. Maybe it was that the reviewers are people that were all in on social media and what not? I don't take part in any social media at all because of this exact kind of thing shown in this movie. How pervasive and intrusive it all ends up being. I thought this was actually a pretty good movie and it felt like an extended and more mainstream episode of a series called Black Mirror - which anyone who has not watched - really should! I liked the cast and thought Emma Watson continued to show her acting chops with going back and forth on her feelings about The Circle.
I would recommend people checking this movie out. It's not a must see by any means but it was nowhere near as bad as the critics had made it out to seem.
