Movie wasn't what I expected. No explanation on why there is a Civil War. Don't know who is who. Movie was about a group of photographers, more than anything. It had a non-realistic story line except for the ending, when the main character / photographer gets screwed over. This review is coming from a photographer. I tried to give A24 another chance, but the majority of their movies are horrible.

Need to see it in a theater to get the full immersion. Will definitely make you hope we as a nation never descend into that.

It was a great movie….it makes you think. The director did a great job. You should check out some of his other work.

Good idea, bad execution. Minimal character development and was underwhelming compared to what the trailer portrayed it to be

As a war veteran, this. hits. HARD! it can happen but for those who don't face reality, you'll never understand. War. is. HELL. People die. The beginning hit really close to home. Great visual and sound effects. Learn from history or else it'll repeat itself!

Trailer is deceiving, not the movie it portrayed. Awful plot. Pointless agenda with no background info other than journalism is challenging. Oh yeah…. and the music didn’t fit the scene(s).

1 hour and 45 minutes to watch the press follow around the so called Civil War without getting an actual backstory. Come on guys, give the fans more of a backstory.

The movies is very slow with little to no action. The best part was the last 20 minutes and best I say very loosely. 👎

This movie was action packed from the start. one of the best movies I've seen in a very very long time. This was way worth the watch.

very slow with only 20 minutes of action at the very end. The entire movie is dialogue between reporters who say they work for "what's left of the New York Times" For such a great movie title, it was a let down. Not worth it to see in the theatre.

I loved the concept of the movie, was good level of intense. Definitely had some emotions during the movie. But like other reviews have already mentioned, there's no info on what caused the Civil War and I feel like there's no growth or anything. Overall, disappointed because I was really excited about it, but entertaining and emotional enough to not feel like a waste of money. That's about it though unfortunately.

Quite a disappointing movie to say the least. There were only a less than a handful of suspenseful moments but that’s all you get. If anti-climatic is what you’re looking for, this is a must-watch for you, as the ending was an anti-climatic disaster.

This was an intense watch! It makes you want to look away but simultaneously has you scared to miss anything. Definitely will keep you on the edge of your seat and does well translating the sense of foreboding.

For anyone whining about the lack of storyline, just shut up already. THIS IS NOT A MARVEL UNIVERSE. it's a movie about how insane and confusing war is, and that if it happened here, we would all be pissing ourselves with mortal terror. The film celebrates the courage of journalists. If you want GI Joe, stay home.

It isn’t what those people will think it is. It’s something better, more timely, and more thrilling — a thoroughly engaging war drama that’s more about people than about politics.

While bound to spark hundreds of think pieces, Alex Garland’s stirring Civil War 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, offering a stunning warning: no matter what the cause, war is hell.

Garland may have just delivered one of the most vicious and unrelenting watches of the year, one that I’ll keep debating and untangling both in my head and with others for a good long while.
