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.

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.

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.

7.5/10

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.

Great concept, great commentary on humanity in a disturbingly prevalent way.
