Our take

Alex Garland’s hotly debated war-fi thriller taps into the polarized zeitgeist of 2020s America, landing stark images of conflict on home soil with chilling plausibility. Tingeing disaster-movie spectacle with the ethical introspection of the thought experiment, Civil War troubles the conscience.
