Share?

...for social media. I feel like I'm using this expression more and more lately but it's a mile wide and an inch deep. I'm so sick of movies that attempt be deep, and mysterious with complex metaphors, but end up just being pretentious and insultingly simple. When writers and directors don't trust their audience to read deeper into meanings and feel like they have to spell it all out, it really tests my ability to not roll my eyes throughout the entire movie. I gave it four stars because, while I had it figured out literally five minutes in, it was still mildly entertaining. I hope the makers of this film didn't cut themselves on the edge.

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.

"Share?" is a Drama - Thriller movie that delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the consequences of choices in the age of social media. The plot follows a young woman grappling with the aftermath of an intimate video of her being shared online, and the emotional turmoil it creates in her personal and social life.

While I appreciate the film's attempt to address a relevant and thought-provoking topic, the execution left much to be desired. The premise, focusing on the impact of privacy invasion and the pressures of public judgment, has potential but felt somewhat underdeveloped. The pacing was uneven, with moments that dragged on too long, leading to a loss of tension during key scenes. The performances, especially from the lead actress, were serviceable but didn't evoke the emotional depth that such a sensitive topic warrants. While the protagonist's struggles were relatable, I found it difficult to connect with her character on a deeper level. The supporting characters, on the other hand, felt one-dimensional and lacked the nuance needed to elevate the story.

One of the movie's strengths is its exploration of the digital age's darker side, but the narrative often felt like it was skimming the surface of deeper issues, leaving me wanting more substance. In terms of directing and cinematography, while the visuals were competent, they didn't add much to the overall impact of the story. Ultimately, "Share?" offers an intriguing premise but fails to deliver a compelling or thought-provoking narrative, leaving me with more questions than answers. It's a movie that might spark some interesting conversation, but overall, it didn't live up to its potential.

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".)
