Civil War

Do you need to feel more hollow/gross/futile than you already do? Great news! Civil War can lure you into a Ford Expedition labeled “Press” and take you on a disheartening adventure of one version of America’s future. Spoiler Alert: Everyone sucks.

I’m way too critical to have fully immersed in the whole experience, but I think the message was very clear. Even if the plot wasn’t. Or the backstory. Or the rules of the internet. However, I am 0% critical of Kirsten Dunst. Amazing. No notes.

For once, you’ll actually forget that you know how this ultimately ends.
