The entire cast of Civil War are exceptional especially Dunst, Spaeny, McKinley Henderson and Moura.
Some scenes and characters are definitely disturbing but necessary to illustrate what may happen in an American Civil War (or in any country for that matter) should the underlying tensions of inequality boil over.
There was not a spare scene in the movie, every second counted, and for such a violent film I bizarrely I didn't want it to end. The subtext speaks to how alienating all types of inequality are corrosive and can lead to extreme violence.
Civil War is a very clever and sophisticated watch.
I hope there'll be a Civil War sequel or prequel or both!

I specifically went to see Monkey Man because it is Dev Patel's directorial debut.
I am not a fan of gratuitously violent action packed thrillers but I absolutely loved Monkey Man; the violence was justified as the context was a tale of revenge built on the sturdy bones of morality, ethics and equality.
I don't want to give away the plot, but there were some characters and scenes that were totally unexpected and used in a very clever non-stereotypical and mature way.
The film felt fresh, gripping and amazingly creative. I would give Monkey Man 12 out of 10 stars if I could. I look forward to seeing what Dev Patel will direct over the next five years.
