Reviews

‘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.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘A great film and an exceptional war movie… Alex Garland has bounced back from the naval gazing idiocy of Men to deliver a drama of unparalleled intensity and film-making ambition.’
★★★★
