Review
Okay, so the very opening scene of Share? (2023) will sound eminently familiar to a lot of audiences. Men wake up in mysterious rooms a lot in cinema, and it’s probably no spoiler to add that, when they do, things don’t tend to go well for them, often as expressed across ninety minutes or more. But it would be a terrible mistake to brush off this particular example: Share? brings us an incredibly minimalist, but still expansive, challenging and unsettling vision. This is sci-fi, but only just: sci-fi is now at a perishingly small remove from everyday life, and the best films dealing with similar subject matter are aware of that, exploiting it to interrogate us, to make us feel suitably uncomfortable.
