Civil War review: Kirsten Dunst is brilliant, but Alex Garland’s provocative action film falls short of greatness

independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/civil-war-review-kirsten-dunst-b2526238.html

Quick Glance: A24's 'Civil War' movie portrays a divided America

Alex Garland’s 'Civil War' takes place in a dystopian near-future version of a divided U.S.

A group of journalists travels through empty cities and deserted roads to Washington to overthrow a dictatorial president.

Critics expressed concerns over Garland's vague approach to the film's politics, amidst online debates surrounding it.

A24 heavily focuses on a marketing campaign that encourages viewers to 'pledge' allegiance and describe their type of American to promote the film.
