As draining as it often is, Civil War is also an exhilarating, sobering and necessary experience. Smartly written and expertly crafted, the film manages to honor the work of wartime photojournalists as it delivers a chilling vision. Read more

Departing from his previous sci-fi works like Ex Machina and Annihilation, Garland injects furious nihilism in his staggeringly realistic depiction of a near-future setting that, as it should, leaves audiences feeling exhausted and wrung-out. Read more

It is a film where I have complex feelings about its intentions and its deliberate vagueness, but, at the same time, it is also undeniable, at least to me, that it features great filmmaking and performances that, along with its thought-provoking aspects, help to make it one of the most memorable films of the year thus far.

During the time when the knock down-drag-out spectacle finally shows up at its fever pitch peak for Civil War, the dispassionate stances and reactions consume it all. You will exhale air of resigned consolation more than inhale breaths of moving eminence. Read more

Civil War looks good in a trailer. It looks politically potent on a poster, with that title plastered over a symbol of American liberty. Few of its picaresque scenes live up to this provocation in the context of the feature, though. Read more

De acteerprestaties zijn zonder uitzondering sterk, met name die van Kirsten Dunst, wiens personage de emotionele en ethische complexiteit van haar situatie belichaamt. Read more

In handen van Garland zien we hier zijn visie op een imploderend Amerika, een meeslepend drama dat wellicht niet de vragen oproept van zijn sciencefiction werken, maar ons wel een flinke spiegel voorhoudt. Read more

Garland zorgt voor een gevoel van onveiligheid die je lang nadat je de bioscoop hebt verlaten bijblijft, allemaal door slim gebruik te maken van herkenbare locaties, objecten en plotelementen. Read more
