Fantastic surprising film noir

Warning: Spoilers
Nobody even tries to make this kind of movie anymore. I've been doing nothing but sitting in my armchair eating sausage and watching stuff since the plague hit and this is the best thing I've seen by far. An independent film that is compelling and thoughtful and frightening as F, this is storytelling like it used to be. Religious, ideological, secular .. whatever kind of cults - make people uncomfortable and films that portray them generally give us a couple hours of gooey superiority for not being in one. Welcome to the Circle works us a bit harder since the cult it uncovers appears to make no purist, no morally superior, no good intentioned tenet to draw anyone into its system to begin with. It's like an actual cult of breathing mannequins who are actually devoid of self awareness (with some psychedelic dreams and illusions). Reminds me more than a bit of some of the current news cycles. Thumbs up to all involved!!
