Share? Surprised me. I almost turned it off several times due to its inane stupidity. I would call it satire more than a thriller. There isn't all that much thrill to it, but it takes very clear jabs at social media, social media addiction, and caricatures. The visual effects were laughable, the characters were stereotypical, and I didn't find any of it particularly funny or even really sci-fi related apart from the use of computers that were big in the 1980's.

I have seen far worse movies, though. This indie film was simply shot; the camera never moves. There are no shaky-cam shots, jump scares, explosions, or lens flares.

I'm actually glad for that, because they have enough trouble managing actual fire.

A lot is left unexplained but as this film seems message-focused, most people will just glaze over the lack of clarity.

Sadly, in my opinion, the film also blew its landing. People gained power and promptly abused it, as everyone knows they would. I won't spoil it for those who choose to watch it. I'll just say that it ultimately disappointed me.

...might have been a better title. I appreciated this familiar thriller set in the near future, or now? It's easy to imagine or as the filmmaker not so subtly points out IS happening to us now. I could personally relate to the thrill of getting clicks and putting off more important things in my life but for what? Are we really living when we operate in this kind of void?

I also appreciated the simplicity of the setting and system by which the filmmaker brings us into this bleak and sterile world fulled by external forces, a faceless and relentless pressure to produce more and more and more - but for what? I'm looking forward to more films by this up and coming director writer.

I was doing my daily ritual: taking 10-20 minutes scrolling through movie channels, adding things to watch later (and usually spending more time doing that than actually watching movies; I'll never, ever catch up to my list), and "Share?" popped up again. Today was finally the day I would give it a chance, and I was most pleased that I did. Thought-provoking, but not heavy handed, short, but not slight, and something I'll recommend to a wide swath of people. Might have to watch it again, and maybe very soon. (The last movie I wanted to see again almost immediately was "Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes".)

This is just cube redone as a bunch of people in separate rooms. The only difference is most of the people are supposedly happy being prisoners. I guess that makes it original... The main character is ok but boring. No way people are paying to watch him fart.

It was hard to stay immersed in the movie, your mind wanders as it drags on and on. It should have been a short on Black Mirror. The yoga chick is the only one worth watching.

This was a tight budget, 1 camera same rooms over and over, Crappy TV monitors. Whole thing reeks of cheap.

I would not recommend but it isn't awful, just boring.

Think of being in a form of full immersive whole body facetime in a single windowless room with no way out, you arrive with no knowledge of how you got there or why, Everything you do is voluntarily "shared" to get "likes" to recieve benefits to either "buy" stuff to make your room better equipped, or to get better foods and drinks as well as clothing. Every "player" starts the same in thier basic underwear with nothing else and they must figure out how to use the interface to find others and get the perks, or find a way out. There are "glitches" which when used can wreak havok or sooth, but to use one, you take a chance as to it's actual beneit or terror. There is a punishment for non-compliance as well which can be deadly. Looks very much like what a tyrannical global government would do to keep the people under control, monitored and eliminate undesireables at the same time and it could all be run by AI. Quite terrifying if you think it out...Nothing questionable, partial nudity, some foul language and some graphic terror. Enjoy!
