Civil War

Welcome to the frontline.

From filmmaker Alex Garland (EX MACHINA, ANNIHILATION) comes a journey across a dystopian future America, following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach DC before rebel factions descend upon the White House. With Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons.

“In a way, you can understand the thrill. The combat sequences are executed with a full-throttle savagery; deft editing conveys the grim satisfaction of catching a moment of photographic truth amid the carnage.” (Observer UK)

“Once you understand that Civil War isn’t about what you think, you can appreciate it for what it actually is: a searing meditation on what happens when political orders collapse and violence takes on a sinister logic of its own.” (VOX)

“It’s more a call for reflection, an attempt to put us in the shoes of others, than a warning — not an It Can Happen Here movie, but a Here’s What It’s Like movie.” (New York Magazine / Vulture)
