Civil War's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
"'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".
Variety
"A literal shock to the system, 'Civil War' is designed to be divisive".
Indiewire
"It\'s a return to form for its director after the misstep of 'Men'," a film that\'s grim and harrowing by design. The question is, is the emptiness that sets in once the shock has worn off intentional as well?"
The Hollywood Reporter
"Garland has always been a director of big ideas, and 'Civil War' is no exception when it comes to that ambitiousness. But he\'s also reaching for an intimacy here that his screenplay doesn\'t quite deliver on".
Rolling Stone
"The premise is a perfect opportunity to take a cold, hard, genre-inflected look at the American experiment\'s current slouching toward self-destruction ? the only question is whether Garland\'s wild potboiler wants to explore or exploit our state of the nation, and the jury\'s still out on that".
