This film presents a scary and intriguing scenario of a civil war in the US but declines to explore it in detail. It follows a journey of vignettes depicting life during turmoil.
This moment is indicative of the film as a whole, a robustly shot and performed movie that presents a scary and guiltily intriguing scenario and then defiantly declines to explore it. What we know is that at some point near-ish to our present day, a strongman president likened to dictators like Pol Pot and Ceaușescu is seizing onto his power. A faction of rebels representing Texas and California have gone to war with the army loyal to the president.
Civil War’s skittishness toward real-world allusion might be more tolerable, if still frustrating, had the film at least fleshed out its characters. To make up for a deliberately underdeveloped environment, the people moving through it could be designed to hold our attention. Yet Garland takes half measures there, too. Everyone is awfully opaque.
