It's brutal. Way more brutal than most war movies...it seemed more real to me...disturbing as hell.

I totally agree...the movie warns of the breakdown of guardrails meant to protect us from tyranny while also warning us of not to give in to our own personal grievances, prejudices, and hatred. The vagueness of the political stances of both sides allows this film to speak to both sides of our current political atmosphere. It's a warning not to allow any one person abuse power, nor allow ourselves to find excuses to give in to our worst impulses against our fellow humans/citizens. There is no clean and tidy way for violence to become an answer to political problems. I believe Kirsten Dunst could be remembered for best actress, depending on how deep the field is, and that Jesse Plemons could do a Beatrice Straight and get a supporting actor nomination for his tour de force performance in his extended scene that takes over the entire movie and is remembered after leaving the theater. The sound design should be a definite nomination, it is great and is like a character itself. I believe this movie will be remembered and a possible cult classic....and a prescient warning to a possible future for this country.

The most frequent criticism of this movie comes from people that think an alliance between Texas and California is unbelievable. Actually, it was very clever of the film maker to team Texas and California. If California had been the rebel state, it could logically be inferred the President was Conservative. If Texas was the secessionist, then the President must be Liberal. By making both states allies the audience doesn't know the political basis of the war. In my opinion Civil War is a better movie than Dune 2 and the best movies I've seen in a very long time.

Why compare this with a film like Dune 2? Dune Saga is set in stone now. Written in the early 60s and then influenced major sci-fi and fantasy that came after making its a seminal scifi. Even though Denis's adaptation has some changes (character changes, some story changes and leaving out lot of worldbuilding), and he nitpicks what themes to focus on from the first book (which has many), he's still telling Paul's arc from the Dune Saga. Dune 2's challenge is to bring us a story that's copied multiple times over in many materials in a unique, exciting way to a new audience while still focusing on saga's themes and messages through characters, story, and filmmaking. It's a film for generations, and once the trilogy is finished, it might be a seminal piece of filmmaking.

Good reviews for this so far. Garland’s direction and Dunst’s performance. No surprise there. Garland blew me away with Ex Machina and Annihilation. Dunst has been good going back to 1994 with Little Women and Interview with the Vampire, where she kind of out-acts Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. The question is whether or not the film will have lasting power to make it to award season. Given this review, I wonder if the movie will play as being identical to Oppenheimer with its doomsday/dystopian premise or deemed as too political in an election year to Academy voters. We shall see.

I keep hearing about Jesse Plemons in this movie. Is it possible he can get any award consideration for one scene? Like for the indie spirit or Gotham awards?

Your review of Civil War is excellent. It is very insightful. I have already seen the movie three times. There is one scene missing from this perfect movie. A short time after the noisy start of the D.C. Siege, cut to a view of the statue of Lincoln, sitting inside the monument. A very still scene, a very quiet scene, an almost serene scene, but, in the far, far away distance, you can hear machine gun fire. As the D.C. siege moves forward, cut to this serene scene one more time and this time yhe the gunfire gets louder and louder. Finally, when the rocket strikes, and the building explodes, we see Lincoln, with rubble piled up to his shoulders. He is trapped, frozen, unable to be free. And lastly, we see a black-and-white snapshot-of-quietness of Lincoln’s closeup face. That is a scene missing from the movie.

I think CIVIL WAR might make people think regardless and Art does that.

My main criticism with the film was the script. I feel it didn’t do a great job with characterization and there were several times when the characters said or did something that just took me out of a scene that I was fully invested in. I really appreciated the perspective and lens it was told in and I really did like the ideas explored but I didn’t think it was as compelling or interestingly told as some people. I’ve heard some people say they hated that the movie didn’t have a message, I totally disagree with that, I just think it wasn’t as interesting as it could have been. I think I enjoyed it overall but definitely a mixed bag.

I think the dialogue could have been strange and perhaps a bit more background on how the civil war broke out, but other than that I have few complaints

Jaw was on the floor almost the whole film. Loved it, sniper scene might be my favorite tbh. whole movie boils down to that imo.

This film knocked me out. I love the fact that it didn’t offer us any historical perspective: it simply plopped us down in the middle of the dreadful situation and lets us center on the concerns of its protagonists. This is what actual civil war could conceivably really look like. The performances are uniformly first-rate, the cinematography and sound design are incredible and this film is going to stick in my mind for a long time. The film of which this most reminds me is Children of Men.

I'm so happy with your review of this movie. I really think that you nailed it with your impressions.

The only thing that fails as a prediction is that Texas and California would find common ground ideologically. Change Texas out for New York or Washington....or California swapped out for all but a handful of liberal population centers...and this would be spot on. And in reality, probably prescient. Looked at several generations from now as something parallel to Nostradamus's predictions. Because the division in this country has no common ground. Nor is there any room left for compromises. Either something like this movie will happen, or or union dissolves via mutual agreement. Which the totalitarian left will absolutely never agree to.

De La Soul “Say No Go” was a bizarre needle drop choice

I literally watched your elusive oscar vid a few days ago and it was so good. Kirsten to me is like a jake Gyllenhaal, or perhaps the other way around considering she started first, in which she chooses very thought provoking projects. Upon watching that vid, u def mentioned a few movies of hers i had not seen or heard of such as "Dick" which reminds me of a "Romy and Michelle". This character she plays however is the best I've seen her in a while. She really shows her range here, focusing more on body language than actual dialogue. And you can not only see PTSD written all over her, but u can feel it coming off of her. Such a transformative roll for her. Sure she's played depressed a lot but this is something different. She better get an Oscar win for this. Spaney is also great as a newcomer even though she got on my nerves towards the end. Im definitely looking forward to her version of Ellen Ripley in the upcoming "Alien: Romulus". Great review and i love the elusive Oscar segments.

What timestamp does the review of Civil War start?

I knew from the jump that the movie speaks controversy, and I freaking love it!

I haven't seen this movie but I've been looking forward to it and now I'm looking forward to it even more! Side note- I do think it's a little sad that still, the bar for well written female characters is often set so low that it's notable when someone is able to write fully fleshed out female roles. Haha.

I just got home from seeing this. Your thumbnail motivated me to see it but I didn’t want to watch your review until I had seen it for myself. I loved Dunst in this. It’s such and understated performance. Jesse Plemmons was indeed terrifying! I was nervous through the whole film. The tension was so thick.

Thanks for the review. Can't wait to see it!

The movie was good, but the past that terrifies me is a lot of people aren’t seeing it through the prism of a movie. Where most people see it as a dystopian and terrifying nightmare that could happen one day, some people are seeing it as a goal. I’ve watched, heard, and listened to people talk about another Civil War as aspirational. Unfortunately people are seeing as inspiration not a warning.

The scariest part about this movie is that the possiblity of it coming true isn't even within the next "couple of decades"...it's much sooner

I haven’t seen this movie yet. But from what I gather, the hate this movie is garnering has to do with one’s political views. Conservatives see this movie as an indictment of a the MAGA movement, as if “liberal” Hollywood is trying to scare voters in an election year into voting Democrat to prevent the kind of civil unrest this movie depicts. Liberals hate this movie precisely because it doesn’t paint Trump supporters as the cause of civil war, suggesting that both sides are equally responsible. In other words, you have one group feeling like the movie is an exaggerated depiction of them and another group complaining that the movie is too afraid to take a side at all.

Also the comments on this film are really weird, I understand if it didn’t work for you personally but some of the dialogue calling Garland spineless and cowardly is so weird to me.

It is brilliant! If you love movies for the art form that they are, you cannot miss this movie. The objections to the "California-Texas Alliance" are entirely irrelevant. The story is told from the point of view of several journalists. They are US. It is one of the most profound movie experiences I have had in my life.

I went to a civil war screening last year while it was in post-production and the final film is better than what I saw last year. Garland took out a lot of scenes that made the film drag and, from what I can recall, what happens to Dunst is different too. I hated Men. It's one of those me too movies that makes men look bad, needy and clingy, like Barbie and Poor Things. We don't need to put men down to make women look better.

I have seen a fair number of reviewers giving a poor review based on expectations that were not met for them. I think the expectation of what this film would be, versus what the film actually is, is what upset some viewers. That's not the film's or director's fault. People wanted this film to make a political statement one way or the other. Since the message was more anti-war than anti-left or anti-right, somehow, that made the film less interesting. This film is about the human condition. It shows the best and worst of humanity. It's a cautionary tale of why no one should want for war. The reality is much more horrifying than what is glamoirised. I felt like the photo journalists were very realized. I have read and heard interviews with journalists who are around warzones, and this depiction felt very faithful to those experiences. Overall, I thought Civil War was a great film!

This movie will haunt you for days and weeks to come, as you mull over each montage and vignette, wondering about it's irony and the what-if scenarios...Sammy's (Stephen Mckinley) death scene is like an elegy...filmed with such grace and compassion...you will tear up during the sequence, trust me...I saw it in IMAX, which I recommend highly if you are going to see it once. I'm going back for a second viewing in Dolby this week, to catch any of the nuances I may have missed. Finally, I will eagerly await the possibility of a director's cut version of this film to see what was left on the cutting room floor....

There’s been a lot of political commentary recently about Texas flipping to a blue state in the near future based on the demographic of people moving there. I live in Australia and 10 years ago I moved to Queensland, very similar to Texas as a state the has been conservative for our entire history. Over that 10 year period I have seen it transition to a more liberal state. At our last national election Queensland veered so far left that several districts were won by the Green Party, our far left political party. So California and Texas aligning in a fictional near future doesn’t seem so far fetched to me.

I loved the performances from the actors/actresses but I wasn’t a fan of the film …i didn’t understand why there was a civil war in the first place …they never explained that nor why it was important to go to DC

Nick Offerman is so under used in this movie that it should be considered a war crime. Like, why the Hell was he even in this movie? He’s in two minutes of the opening and then a smattering here and there, and I know the movie isn’t about him, but I felt like it built him up so much, that I found myself disappointed and honestly for most of the movie. Now, there are some great sequences in this film, and the sound design in particular is really good, but otherwise I found it to be shallow and for a movie entitled “Civil War”, I expected a film about a civil war and I didn’t get that, and I think the film’s insistence on objectivity really hurt it for me. There’s no world building. We don’t know anything about any of the events to the point when the Civil War feels so background that I wonder why the movie was even made.

The movie Civil War has no plot, no story line, no context, no background. A movie, if you want to be generous, fails completely.

What's with the "close up of guy smoking a cigarette" scenes? This film is cliched crap that stole an afternoon out of my life. Cardboard characterization and meaningless disjointed writing. This film is for the brain dead already. Which means this film will win loads of awards. This film is the epitome of Hollywood film making today. This film will make the actors embarrassed every time they remember they took all that dollar to be in it. Etc.

@@c-9233 the movie is about people exactly like you. thats the point.

The movie is complete trash. Idiots walking around with cameras taking photos of people playing war. Absolutely ZERO story. It's like people who love this are seeing a completely different movie that I see. Horrible.

The 'idiots' are reporters, and it's their job to document history... Your lack of understanding of how the world works might be part of the reason you don't like the movie.

Men is his weakest movie

As a woman who felt very recognized by “Men,” it always tickles me how male Garland fans diminish it. I don’t expect men to get it right away, but if you like Garland’s weirdness and are willing to do the work, it’s interesting to see how unwilling they are to try with “Men.” It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that parallels the critiques of “Civil War.” People who want to see their values and perspectives reinforced, explicitly, have no business watching Garland (or A24, frankly). People who came into this movie for validation in their finger-pointing, or who are stymied by the vagueness, need to stick to Marvel.

Until Doomcock the future ruler of Earth weighs in and reviews this movie I will not see it.

Brian you don't find this movie dangerous and irresponsible?

Why would it be? It doesn’t glorify the war, nor does it take a side in the hypothetical war the movie shows.

It should be seen by everyone. Kids too. It should required for all Americans to watch

Film was a mess , no reasonable plot or movie scenes with a terrible ending. I don’t get the hype.
