Reviews

  • "CIVIL WAR is a furiously convincing and disturbing thing when you're watching it. It's a great movie that has its own life force. It's not like anything Garland has made. It's not like anything anyone has made, even though it contains echoes of dozens of other films (and novels) that appear to have fed the filmmaker's imagination."
    - RogerEbert.com
  • "CIVIL WAR enflames our discomfort by bringing the conflict to our own backyard."
    - The Playlist
  • "As a road trip movie, CIVIL WAR is quite good, with some segments proving more enthralling than others. Dunst is the standout among the cast, keeping us anchored through the more episodic elements, but Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Cailee Spaeny contribute strong work."
    - Slashfilm
  • "A literal shock to the system, CIVIL WAR is designed to be divisive."
    - Variety
  • "It is a film about journalistic ethics and, in its own way, the interpretation of images is grounded in [Dunst’s] outstanding performance. It isn’t an easy role to inhabit, but she does so perfectly."
