Circle

My pulse races every time I watch this film.

Although the story isn´t so believable, the performance of the actors and the constant stressful atmosphere makes you feel as if you were another character inside the movie.

Fifty people, locked in a circular room. They can´t move from their places, nor touch anyone, just talk; and they don´t know why they are there, either. If that wasn´t enough, every two minutes (more or less), one of them dies because of a strange machine in the middle of the circle. To top it off, they discover that each of them can vote by making a specific sign with their hands who is gonna be the next one. And that´s when things start to get complicated, since... Who deserves to die next?

I really like the fact that almost the whole film is recorded in the same room because it makes you to focus on the conversations the characters hold: why they think they should live, why they are there, who created that terrifying elimination game, what will happen when they reach the last person... So it was a bit disappointing seeing the outside world at the very end of it.

This psychological thriller is definitely awesome: it mixes the small and short stories of fifty people, creating a perfect plot, full of drama, suspense and controversial deecisions made by the group. It is very similar to our society...

Whatever your age is, I truly recommend you to watch "Circle"; it will make you reconsider a lot of aspects in your life, related to social prejudices, but always circling around the same question: Would you sacrifice yourself for others, or try to survive, even if that means killing other people?
