San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
The Circle is very much a plea for the preservation and sanctification of privacy, but it’s nicely constructed in that no one character expresses the film’s distinct point of view.

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
One of the things The Circle gets right on multiple occasions is that, once one has bought into a technology like this, the problems it creates are invitations not to abandon it but to seek further technological solutions.

Variety - Owen Gleiberman
You could call The Circle a dystopian thriller, yet it’s not the usual boilerplate sci-fi about grimly abstract oppressors lording it over everyone else. The movie is smarter and creepier than that.

Screen International - David D'Arcy
We’re lucky that moralists like Ponsoldt and Eggers have a sense of humor.
50
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
The premise begs to provoke contentious debate around privacy laws in an age of boundless innovation, but it can’t seem to find steady footing in that dialogue, in part because it lacks a substantial means of asking the right questions.
