Review of The Circle

The Circle (I) (2018)
8/10
Very good 8 minute film -- watched it streaming
26 April 2021
This was a very good short film. It was only about 7.5 minutes long (10.5 with credits) and was easily located for streaming.

It is a nice vignette about family relationships and art as a unifying force. The plot is concise and easy to follow. I will say that I was surprised by some of the plot points.

Given how short the film is, further discussion of the plot would likely give away too much.

For those who care, this follows the traditional (Aristotelian) unities in that it the action occurs in a small town over less than 24 hours. However, it wouldn't be considered a classical tragedy, but would likely be considered a tragedy under the modern Hegelian Tragedy standard.
