REVIEW: “A24’s CIVIL WAR” – Visceral and Intense; Weirdly Apolitical

A24's Civil War

Ari and Mike review A24’s Civil War.

A career-best for Kirsten Dunst, but the star of the movie is the riveting sound design. The weirdly apolitical stance muddies the messaging of the movie. Tense and intense, Civil War needs to be experienced in IMAX for the sound quality. Don’t watch it on your phone!
