Share Reviews
When everything aligns, Share works brilliantly and feels like a true indie hit. Unfortunately, such moments are fleeting, and it ultimately feels like a glorified student film.

Episode 46: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark / Share / The King of Comedy
| Original Score: 80/100 | Oct 4, 2021
Pippa Bianco's feature directorial debut Share is a sombre snapshot of how easily digital content can be weaponised.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2021
Share sets a groundbreaking new model for a fresh paradigm of post-assault parental behavior.

Its strengths and faults lie in its pokerfaced objectivity, which doesn't condescend to its teenaged protagonist but it doesn't offer much psychological depth in its depiction of her journey towards recovery either.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020
It isn't a particularly 'new' commentary and it has some pacing problems, but it's an effective piece that blurs the line between anxiety and ennui.

A strong film. [Full review in Spanish]

Pippa Bianco deconstructs the unique complexities of modern survivorship with a sobering portrait of just how much it takes to be an assault survivor in an age where the internet doesn't let go of the memory of you.

For teens and their parents [this film] ought perhaps to be compulsory viewing. A word of advice though: maybe watch in separate rooms. Some things are just not meant to be shared.

A raw, keen-eyed depiction of an adolescent girl's experiences in the brave new (yet same-as-it-ever-was) world of the 2010s
| Original Score: B | Jul 31, 2019
"Share" avoids becoming a preachy message film. It's a subdued, patient drama.

Share's ascetic dismissal of concrete details renders the film alienating, even off-putting.

In Barreto, a 21-year-old British unknown, Bianco has an actor who's persuasively ordinary as a teenager, but also totally hypnotic.

The performances in Share are what's going to get you through an ambling, slow-paced story.

A masterful example of how cinema can channel what filmmaker Deborah Kampmeier dubbed 'the female experience.'
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 26, 2019
In an effectively understated performance with minimal dialogue, Barreto's haunted face conveys it all, showing us the already fragile psyche of a teen slowly break down with the glum realisation of how unjust the world around her can be.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2019
Share is thoughtful, but it's not entirely clear where those thoughts are headed. Give Bianco credit for making a film about a rage-inducing topic that doesn't shout; but a little less mumbling would have been welcome.
| Jul 22, 2019
Bianco handles this tricky material with immense care and judiciousness, choosing to refract the violence and trauma in inventive ways - in part, she manages to internalize these facets through the candid performance that she elicits from her lead actor.

Uncomfortable yet essential, Share is Kids for the WhatsApp generation.

A sensitive, complex, important film - particularly in a world where the lines of consent and accusations of sexual assault still seem to be up for debate.
