The Uncivil War: America Divided

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.

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.

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 :)
