May 9th-13th - 4day run of A24's brand new CIVIL WARAlex Garland's portrait of a fractured, dystopian America
“Frightening, even-tempered, and disarmingly humane, Civil War is intelligent precision filmmaking trained on an impossible subject.” – Rocco T. Thompson, Slant Magazine
From A24 and writer/director Alex Garland (EX MACHINA, ANNIHILATION) comes an exhilarating, harrowing vision of America’s possible future that brings the horrors of war to the homefront. In the near future, America is fractured. The United States government is at war with two seceding factions: the Florida Alliance and the western forces of Texas and California. As the conflict rages across the country, a group of journalists (including Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and Stephen McKinley Henderson) embedded into a military unit race against time to reach the White House before rebel forces descend upon it.
Alex Garland has done something very special here. CIVIL WAR is an intense, explosive, and gut-wrenching cautionary tale about the very real divisions in America. While the action is thrilling and expertly choreographed, this is no heroic portrait of soldiers fighting for freedom – you feel every impact, every shot of citizen against citizen. That impact is portrayed perfectly by stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and Stephen McKinley Henderson as they try to speak truth to the misguided combatants. Other highlights include Jesse Plemmons’ disturbed soldier, and Nick Offerman’s desperate blowhard of a president. As enthralling as it is terrifying, it’s important to remind yourself that CIVIL WAR doesn’t have to be our future, but it could be an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razor's edge.
