Emma Watson is teaming up with Tom Hanks this time in the latest STX Entertainment thriller, The Circle. Based on the book by Dave Eggers, ambitious dreamer, Mae Holland (Watson) gets the job of her dreams for a tech company with hopes of making the world a more open place. She does this by using a tiny camera in order to record every moment of her life and show that openness and honesty are the best ways to live in harmony, but she soon discovers that not everyone is willing to be honest and her honesty costs the life’s of the people she loves most.
Now Mae has to decide what is more important, the honest life that she’s been living or the life of her family and friends.
At 1 hour and 50 minute run time, The Circle will have you engrossed in the world of social media that everyone holds dear and inevitably makes you wonder, how close is too close for comfort. The drama also stars John Boyega and the late Bill Paxton who passed away earlier this year and whom the film was especially dedicated to.
The Circle opened in theaters the last weekend in April and henceforth has already brought in nearly 20 million domestically at the box office.
It’s still currently playing at a theater near you.
