We have met the enemy and it is us. Again... Rarely have I seen a movie that made me so acutely uncomfortable or watched an actor’s face that, like Dunst’s, expressed a nation’s soul-sickness so vividly that it felt like an X-ray.
The 'Ex Machina' director’s vision of an imploding America is neither anti-Trump nor anti-woke. Instead it’s as riveting as cinema gets... Civil War moves in ways you’d forgotten films of this scale could – with compassion for its lead characters and a dark, prowling intellect, and yet a simultaneous total commitment to thrilling the audience at every single moment.
Forget 'Ex Machina,' this is Alex Garland’s best film yet.. Garland may have just delivered one of the most vicious and unrelenting watches of the year, one that I’ll keep debating and untangling both in my head and with others for a good long while.
