Really enjoyed the movie. Well written, thought provoking with some humor as well. Great acting throughout. David Siracusa knocked it out of the park with this film. 100% recommend this movie. Liked the character development with the main actors and loved how Byron came back and stood up for his friend against the mob despite their disagreements and different viewpoints. Wanted to cheer for Byron at that moment. Not an easy topic to make a movie out of but the story was compelling and relatable. The movie does take you back to that time and how divided the Country was (or at least how the media portrays the Country). Great scenery of Tampa Bay as well. Go see this movie!!

The overall theme and costar were outstanding and authentic. This movie masterfully avoids portraying either side as right or wrong, instead focusing on how social media and legacy media amplify the differences between opposing ideologies. Most importantly, the film highlights the similarities between some of the opposing characters, creating a nuanced and thought-provoking narrative.

The film's pacing, while slower in some parts, allows for deep character development. Although some scenes might feel prolonged, they add depth and context to the characters' decisions. When the significant moments occur, they are impactful and drive the story forward, even if the transitions could use more buildup.

Bronsonn Taylor is the standout of this film, delivering an incredibly genuine performance. Every scene he is in captivates the audience, portraying a strong yet vulnerable man caught up in the real-world events of 2020.

Despite being a low-budget film with some limitations in cinematography, locations, and casting, these aspects also lend authenticity to the 2020 setting. The sense of isolation depicted in the movie, whether intentional or not, resonates deeply with the pandemic experience.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone, especially those with strong political convictions who are active on the internet. It's a film that will resonate and provoke thought long after the credits roll.

The quality of the cast and the production of this film was amazing!! Though it's a tough topic to discuss it was done tastefully. It was an emotional roller coaster which is great because it means the cast definitely delivered!! This film makes you think of your personal life and how much or how little you really know on somethings especially politics of those in your closest circle. Being able to have a healthy dialogue amongst your friends and family is paramount for a healthy relationship. If you're not willing to take into account the view point of others to maintain a healthy relationship then it's time to evaluate boundaries. A must see!

I thoroughly enjoyed the premiere of "The Uncivil War". There is no way to paint a complete picture in the time frame that a movie presentation allows, but the writer David Siracusa and director Andrew Huff did a great job in offering a dual perspective without blame or shame on either side. I can certainly appreciate their open-mindedness and their desire to help viewers see both points of view. I was a little surprised that clips from the preview and sizzle real were left out of the final edit, as I was expecting to still see those missing scenes when the movie ended. I do understand why the clips were left on the cutting room floor and replaced with other scenes, as it could have caused unnecessary controversy that went against the movie's original intent. Again, I really enjoyed it. GREAT work!!

Great honest view of both parties, packed into a good and interesting story. Talking about political views is always critical, that's why I loved this movie. I liked how I was able to understand both sides (minus the violence). This film is a wake up call for everyone to respect each other's reality. My reality might not be your reality and we have to respect that. We have to at least try to understand the other view. This way we can stay united 'not divided' <3. I hope a lot more people see it this way, but I think we are getting there. Because we need to put love first at all times. 'Make each other, don't break each other :)

Uncivil War - America Divided is a timely piece for 2024 in that the events that happened in 2020 are still happening today. With it being an election year when the film enters theatrical and festival distribution, it's the perfect time to reflect and have conversations.

The story revolves around two friends who disagree when events take place in 2020. The narrative itself follows a hero's journey with some pivots that do not divert from the overall arc of the story. Daniel Roebuck brings a delightful and validating character to the conflicted David Siracusa who is struggling to find balance from an entrepreneurial life and his personal life. Musetta Vander is a breath of fresh air as a woman who brings perspective to the troubled character along with Bronsonn Taylor as the main supporting actor. The ensemble itself really leaves the audience with questions to ponder within themselves.

Whether you agree or disagree with the overall content of the film, this is a story to look at and think within yourselves and leave with conversations among friends and family. Politics are tough and many do not know how to balance it with overall dialogue. This film is an eye opening way of looking into it. I encourage you to give it a try.

It's a fairly balanced account of summer 2020, but the lessons are still contemporary- spending too much time on social media and letting politics divide yourself from others isn't healthy, it could even kill you. While it leans conservative and ignores some points for more succinct storytelling, there were liberal viewpoints addressed. The dating aspect is very cute and lends a lot of humor to what could be a much more serious tragedy. Most in the audience couldn't help wanting a Pina Colada. ;) Another highlight to any resident or fan of the Tampa Bay area is trying to locate just where each scene was shot. It's great to see our backyard on screen.

This is a story about how American divided by political views. The political subject is in the aftermath of the George Floyd.killing by a policeman. The movie centers on how this effects of the longtime friendship of a conservative white man and his best friend who is black. Unfortunately, the exchanges were very superficial and there was never really an exchange of ideas or meetings of the mind. No one in the movie seems to change their position, they just stop talking about it. The film had a good idea, but squandered the opportunity ty being so superficial. More annoying was the dating overlay where cliche women with lots of cleavage and scenes with girls in bikini's having pseudo political dialog. It was suprising to see women depicted in this manner in 2024. A good try but it did not inspire thought or dialog. American was divided before the movie - and after.

This topic is very important and timely, but the movie missed the mark on portraying it deeply and offering suggestions to help the problem. Especially since George Floyd's death, camps have formed with very diverse opinions and seemingly no way to talk to one another. There is a great liberal/ conservative and black/ white divide in this country, but the movie made no attempt to look at the roots of these problems and how one might adopt ways to relate to folks that hold differing points of view. There was a subplot involving dating that I found very sexist and shallow.

I was disappointed. I'd hoped to hear different ideas and viewpoints that could be discussed. Back to the drawing board for this script!

I'll admit walking into the cinema anticipating a documentary. After adjusting to the film's dramatization format, I remained as confused as the main protagonist for much longer.. The film tries to see the world through the eyes of a middle-aged, recently divorced white guy who confronts "woke" or "progressive" animus at every turn. Since the view from "the right" is usually confined to podcasts or cable stations, this was an immersion into the protagonist grappling with hatred from "the left." However, the film left me bored with two-dimensional characters and trite epithets from "the right" and "the left." The audience in St Pete, FL seemed moved that their world view was finally reflected sympathetically. Many in the U. S. feel that their world view has been given short shrift in the film industry so it's important to hear. In that regard, the movie wasn't a complete waste. If I hadn't paid $15, I would've turned the movie off in the first 10 minutes because of the flat writing and many silly characters. The messaging was a sledgehammer ...
