THE CIRCLE
Recommended. Realistic SF if I can say so. Or more on the science part rather than fiction. It's a near future possibility grounded in our present: Facebook, connected service accounts, electoral registers, self-driving cars being developed and, above all, privacy concerns. "Privacy was a temporary thing and now it's over". Filmed entirely in California so it's mostly sun-drenched yet bleak. Even the initial credits have circular typography. No scenes during or after them.
DEEP
Watchable. It attempts to be "Finding Nemo" or "Finding Dory" but it fails badly. Action gets interrupted with bad music a few times. The whole film is a rubbish bin of motifs from other productions: Deep is an heir to the throne who needs to save his community, there are lots of sea creatures and "cool" dialogues, a vampire, zombie fish, evil scientists are trying to destroy the world, NYC is sunk like in "A. I. Artificial Intelligence". Deep in the Polish dubbing has an annoying child-like voice. I was mostly curious if the "white whale" would be as lovely as in "Finding Dory". It's not. It's grey and wrinkly but pleasantly not child-like at least.
Podlasie Slow Fest is an interesting upcoming film festival to take place in Supraśl over nearly 3 months from July to September. Apart from movies, there will be cooking workshops, e.g. making herb pickles and outings to see the rut of roe-deer and red deer.
