Jafar Panahi's film is blessedly only 90 minutes long, but it feels a lot longer because it unfolds almost in real time. Many shots last for minutes and consist simply of medium-range depictions of a woman's face while ambient noise clatters from off-screen. The Circle is structured as its title would suggest, beginning and ending with a shot of a woman being locked out or locked in. In the film, women are prisoners from the moment they're born until they literally become prisoners in jail. The circle is an unbroken cycle of repression and hopelessness for people who are denied their own identity.
