By: Lynn Barker

In The Circle, 20-something Mae Holland (Emma Watson) is doing tech temp work and going nowhere. She lives at home with her mom and dad who has severe MS and can’t afford health insurance. It seems as if the good fairy of modern communication comes to her rescue when her bestie Annie (Karen Gillan) gets her an entry-level interview at the huge tech giant The Circle. Will the job be the answer to Mae’s prayers or a descent into a special cyber-hell?

Saved From a Desperate Life 

Mae (Emma Watson) is a young Silicon Valley woman who can’t get ahead. She’s smart but doing boring temp work while her mom (Glenne Headly) takes care of her MS dad (Bill Paxton in his last screen performance). They can’t afford health insurance. Longtime friend Annie, who works at The Circle, an ultra high tech company, gets Mae an interview and she gets the job in customer service.

Wonderful or Dangerous?

The Circle is housed on a shiny new “campus” where all employees know everything about each other and are more than encouraged to share even more. Cool things like parties with A-list talent impress Mae. She meets Ty (John Boyega), an employee and creator of one of the company’s more popular platforms, who doesn’t seem all that enthusiastic about the Circle’s “programs” and mission. Mae moves into the company’s “dorm”, a posh residence, and marvels at all her good luck.
