Civil War Review: Kirsten Dunst Shines In Alex Garland's Powerful, Ambiguous War Epic
Civil War confronts viewers with the brutality of war and the necessity of objective journalism, but the moments of quiet humanity are its strength.
It would be easy to assume that Civil War is an alternate take on the events of January 6th, but director Alex Garland instead chooses to approach his war movie from a more cryptic vantage point in the not-so-distant future of the United States. The project is an ambitious one for A24, whose usually smaller-budget films have yielded impressive results, and the final product is well worth the investment based on the visuals alone.
