Tom Hanks and Emma Watson’s ‘The Circle’ — 60 Second Movie Review

RATED: The Circle is rated M for Mature themes and coarse language

AUDIENCE: Techno-thriller fans and Tom Hanks / Emma Watson groupies

WHAT’S GOOD: The Circle fits well into our current world, challenging us to ask the questions, ‘When does sharing become too much?’, ‘What do we really have a right to know?’ and ‘Is there such a thing as too much information?’

WHAT’S NOT: There is a certain amount of Internet phobia going on here, and sometimes Emma Watson’s realisations and convictions just seem a tad unbelievable.

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: Spiritually, The Circle does raise the idea that people would be better if they knew the world was watching. But God’s been doing that since the beginning, and we still sin… Because even when we know, it’s wrong, we can’t make ourselves better.

RELEASE DATE: August 17
