Civil War's got a bracing toughness, and for me strikes the right balance between a clear message about the dangers of right wing politics and polarisation and a nuanced depiction (more of a sketch) of the social context that could enable disaster to follow. The choice to centre journalists covering the war is canny and opens up space I haven't seen explored before - thematically, and action-wise. Kirsten Dunst is great - an actor who I feel I've grown up with, and this role gives her plenty to sink her teeth into.
