Honestly, I thought this was a pretty good film, at first I thought it was going to be cliche, and boring especially at the start because it's quite goofy but it turns into a good idea.
My only flaw with this movie is I feel like there's a lot of time not doing really anything, and it kind of just takes up the movie, if this film had more budget I guarantee it'd be 8+.
Therefore, I still recommend it, it was entertaining, just a movie you put on with 1 or 2 other people, not to watch with family or anything but just to relax and take in.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching this with my girlfriend, as it was a new idea we haven't seen, it reminded me of Nasubi, a Japanese sweepstake contestant who was "held" captive and was make to send out sweepstakes to live for 15 months in isolation.

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.

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.

...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.

- TriviaDirector Ira Rosensweig stated "it was very important to me that the actors could interact with each other in real time, so we built three identical sets next to each other on a stage. Equally important was their ability to see each other, as well as the need to establish fixed eyelines to each of the elements on their screen, without which the reality of the movie would have been destroyed. In order to achieve this, each set had a fixed camera integrated into a visual communication system that we created using Interrotrons (essentially, two-way teleprompters) connected to a live switching system. This allowed not only me, but each actor looking at their teleprompter to see a previsualization of the finished scene -- that included not only the live feed of the cameras in the other rooms, but also the computer interface as they typed and interacted with it."
