Civil War 2024

"No one's giving us orders, man. Someone's trying to kill us. We're trying to kill them."

Quite literally the scariest movie I've ever seen.

I feel like you can always recognize a writer-director. Alex Garland's vision is so confidently realized here. Masterfully constructed all around, from the cinematography to the sound design to the outstanding performances.

I was struck by the way Garland advances his story and lends it weight using tiny, understated moments that hit me like a punch to the gut:

"300 Canadian."
"Florida. Central America."
The two star flag of the WF
Lee deleting the photo of Sammy

I never call a movie important, but I think this one might be.
