“Civil War” is the latest film by Alex Garland, director of hits such as “Annihilation” with Natalie Portman and “Ex Machina”, for which the creators received an Oscar in the Best Special Effects category in 2016.
Critics call “Civil War” the film of the year. What is he talking about?
Garland is also the author of the script for the film, which was released in cinemas across Poland on April 12. “Civil War” tells the story of the bloody civil war in the United States. This is a particularly moving film because of its topicality. The reviews of the production say that the vision of a possible future is more terrifying than most horror films.
History will have a strong impact not only on Americans who are currently facing the election of the next president. Polarization of society and fear of armed conflicts have taken over almost all regions of the world in recent years. The cast of the production includes Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Nick Offerman.
“Civil War” receives great reviews from Polish critics. “The intensity of a concentrate of emotions. The beauty of the world. The poetry of death. A protest worthy of a humanist and pacifist. Kirsten Dunst – plays a severed heart. It is impossible to forget” – Tomasz Raczek compliments the production. “Emotionally and visually intense, with extraordinary acting by Kirsten Dunst. It cripples thoughts and feelings. It is a great metaphor for the blindness of war madness,” adds Marcin Radomski from KINOrozmowa.
“Civil War” hit Polish cinemas. Critics delighted
On Rotten Tomatoes, reviewers rated the film 84 percent on the freshness scale. This is a very high score. “The film differs from the traditional depiction of war with bombs and shootings,” writes Kurt Loder of New York Film Critics. “An incredibly well-made, brutal thriller that makes no political statement but merely suggests that we may be less safe than we think,” notes Russ Simmons of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle.
Reviewers unanimously note that the production can be scarier than many horror films. “A thrilling, terrifying journey into the future that is certainly one of the scariest films of the year,” says Norman Gidney of Film Threat. Susn Kamyab from Irving Television shares this opinion. “‘Civil War’ is a film much scarier than any horror film,” he writes in the review. “It’s one of the best films of the year,” says Bill Goodykoontz from Arizona Republic USA Today.
