First let me say I'm a sci-fi/action fan. This is not a movie I would have watched. I expected it was the Marina Sirtis / Mindy Robinson 2016 sci-fi movie of the same name (and year).
Also I should point out that the vast majority of my reviews are 6.0 or lower so keep that in mind before dismissing my 8 out of 10 as SPAM.
The Circuit has zero action or sci-fi. It is basically a dinner party thrown by people the main couple have just met. I expected to be bored to death and to change it to something else as I am not a fan of soap operas or melodrama but... it is really, really funny and insightful.
Not 3 Stooges funny but Steven Wright funny. Very dry humour - the kind you have to step back and think - did they just say that? Off the wall humour with a cast that are perfect in their roles. These are real people with real quirks. Each actor is odd but remains true to their own characters through-out and it never descends into farce. As such the acting is excellent.
One character, in particular, seems to be unreasonably offensive and vulgar however by the end of the movie I understood why he would be like that and even sympathized with his situation.
I highly recommend this movie for anyone with a dry sense of humour who isn't easily offended.
Lastly, this is a movie that will definitely provoke multiple discussions if viewed in a group.
