About the Film
“Smaller and Smaller Circles” is a blend of social drama and crime thriller. It is an often disturbing view into a world defined by corruption and exploitation, a world which has started killing off the weak labeling them disposable. With great performances and cinematography “Smaller and Smaller Circles” may not prove to be an uplifting film, but one which is necessary nevertheless.
