A man struggles to survive after awakening alone, trapped in a society connected only by a primitive computer network, where the ability to entertain is the only currency. Grappling with a flickering, faulty memory of his life before, the film's nameless protagonist (Melvin Gregg) discovers that his unseen audience seems to reward most highly his moments of humiliation and pain. Building off this realization, he crafts a self-destructive comedic persona that allows him to not just survive, but thrive in his new world. Rewarded with "socialization" via video feeds, the man develops relationships with other inhabitants, including a cantankerous veteran of the system (Bradley Whitford), and two women (Alice Braga and Danielle Campbell) who confront him with opposed worldviews. Should he accept his confinement and try to find some form of happiness within it, or fight a seemingly unwinnable war with the system that imprisons him?

An ungenerous techno-satire.

The sly “Share?” never overstays its welcome as it wags a finger at social media and does so by giving off the vibe of a shared Zoom-like experience.

Morbidly Beautiful

Share? is a lean, stripped-down, highly intriguing sci-fi mystery that works equally well as a savvy social parable about the dark side of the virtual community where many of us spend so much of our time.

Rated: 4/5

Warped Perspective

Things are done differently here, with careful, subtle reveals amounting to a kind of philosophical moral lesson. It has real heft, this process, and it hits hard.

Share? is a fun indie that will make you think while still being able to enjoy it without the weight of a mystery box holding it down.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

Unique and captivating, even if it doesn’t quite make it past the finish line. Gregg is great as the lead, keeping one’s attention throughout. Whitford is pure dynamite. His fast-talking demeanor gives way to a frustrated but well-meaning person.

Rated: 7.5/10

I really enjoyed this movie. Even though you never find out how he got there, I found myself enjoying every minute of it. If you like the indie movie , Circle, ( not the mainstream one with Tom Hanks) this is a must watch for you.

Barry N

A delightful (and delightfully short) claustrophobic and taut film. The fresh premise could easily have been a Black Mirror episode with the added feature of being one of the only (the only?) film shot entirely from a single fixed camera angle. Great pacing, terrific acting all around.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Super impressive directorial debut with a great ensemble cast. Captivating from the first scene and an incredibly timely and important film for this generation. Loved the ending!
