This isn't an easy movie to watch in many ways, with incredibly tense and emotionally heavy scenes. It's not an action movie, though there are a number of very action-heavy scenes. It's also not a political movie, despite what might be expected based on the premise. What you get here is really about war correspondent journalists and a pursuit of chronicling what happens, leaving it up to their viewer or reader to draw conclusions. There are excellent performances from the cast particularly Wagner Moura and Cailee Spaeny, but there wasn't a bad one in the film. The sound design in this film is phenomenal, from early quiet scenes to the chaotic (and loud!) urban battle in the third act. Civil War feels at once fantastical and all too plausible.
