Civil War

"Sure to be one of the year’s most controversial films (...) in Alex Garland’s virtuosic 'Civil War' a jarring ground-level account of what a near-future disunification of the United States might look like" 

"It’s mesmerizingly, horribly gripping. (...) Rarely have I seen a movie that made me so acutely uncomfortable" 

"A movie that never quite earns its provocative premise (...) As a war movie, Civil War is well made, dropping audiences into the shock and terror of American slaughter. (...) It’s also an effective journalism movie (...) But as a political movie, Civil War is less effective" 

"Forget 'Ex Machina,' This Is Alex Garland’s Best Film Yet (...) Garland's exploration is nothing like you would expect and all the better for it (...) one of the most vicious and unrelenting watches of the year" 

"Whatever you're expecting, this movie will give you something else. (...) It is a furiously convincing and disturbing thing when you're watching it. It's a great movie that has its own life force. It's not like anything Garland has made. It's not like anything anyone has made (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"A Provocative, Masterfully Directed Nightmare (...) will undoubtedly go down, too, as one of the most provocative films of the year. It’s also an early contender for one of the best (...) Civil War is a hard film to watch and a hard film to shake" 

"Prepare to be wowed by "Civil War," the best, most original, and propulsively exciting movie of the year so far."
