It's not exactly Oscar-worthy drama, but you'll feel the injustice of people forced to hide their true selves.
Cath Clarke, Time Out

The movie has the measured, dutiful quality of docudrama (and some on-the-nose dialogue). But it's a chapter in history well worth bringing to light.

The romance between Ernst and Robi acts as a microcosmic example of a larger debate whose broad terms remain familiar.

From its backroom politics to its bedroom activities, "The Circle" has a sincerity and an honesty that shames far more expensive but over-polished dramas; "The Circle" shows you both the happy ending and the incredibly hard work it took to get there.
