Great cast, but post-production seemed to have cut out like 10 years of history 😂 (1890-1900)
confusing, could have been better if things were explained better
Metacritic
Any curiosity surrounding the film may have been misplaced – it’s a bit of a bore.
The Current War is even better than it has to be. Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung give the film a swooping elegance, so that shots that start as close-ups gracefully glide into medium shots, and medium shots give way to vistas. The camera is always moving in a way that suggests grace and flow.
The Current War employs actors capable of their own eccentric stylizations, and gives them very little leeway to make the material their own. Gomez-Rejon keeps snatching it back with every offbeat composition idea he can muster.
