Our take on Civil War

Alex Garland's 2024 film unfolds in a near future where a group of war journalists tries to survive while reporting the truth as the United States teeters on the brink of civil war. Rather than explain the politics, Garland stays close to the reporters, making the film a tense road movie through a fractured country and a meditation on what it costs to document violence. It suits viewers who want provocative, unsettling speculative drama and can sit with ambiguity instead of easy answers. Those seeking a clear-cut political thriller or reassurance may be frustrated, but anyone drawn to journalism under fire and hard moral questions will find it gripping.
