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.

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!

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.

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!!

Two weeks prior to filming, David Siracusa and Andrew Huff had to release those two actors due to creative differences. David Siracusa ended up taking over the lead role and Musetta Vander and Daniel Roebuck were brought in to solidify the cast. Production was only pushed back by one week despite the disruption and change in talent.
