The insider elements going along through the campaign are what's really beneficial. You get insight on stuff you've not heard that much on Brexit. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 03/07/2019

I'd especially like to know how Matthew Elliott feels about being portrayed as a borderline simpleton whenever Cummings heaves into view. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 02/21/2019
That Graham has managed to make a functioning drama out of Brexit, let alone such a riveting one, feels a little bit miraculous. Go to Full Review Tony Black Cultural Conversation 01/31/2021
3/5
The Uncivil War itself almost feels an uncivil story to tell right now in these troubled, uncertain times. It could be, therefore, the Brexit Movie Panto we all deserve. Go to Full Review Alex Moreland alexmoreland.co.uk 12/06/2019

Brexit: The Uncivil War is a film caught between two contrary instincts, unable to quite work out what it wants to be or what it wants to do. Go to Full Review Fernanda Solórzano Letras Libres 08/30/2019

See more Ted W @RT84494621 08/31/2020 Pretty interesting but mediocre movie starring Benedict cumberbatch. I didn't expect anything out of this movie but some interesting facts about the brexit and how it came to be. And I learned a lot from this movie but just as a movie critic I didn't get anything from the actors. See more 06/30/2020 Amusing and light-touch take on...you know what. See more Read all reviews
