      Critics Consensus

      The Current War is powered by an outstanding cast and an intriguing, history-inspired story, which makes this drama's low wattage all the more shocking.

      Pat Brown Slant Magazine The film falls back on the myth of modernity being born in the laps of practical, native-born American ingenuity. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 29, 2019 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) The Current War seems to have suffered from its tumultuous production history. Or, just maybe, it was always destined to be this ungainly. Rated: 2/5 Aug 4, 2019 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Top-hatted, frock-coated, mutton-chopped chaps burbling on about the relative advantages of the alternating current versus direct current system does not, in fact, make for electrifying drama. Rated: 2/5 Jul 27, 2019 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times If we wish to know where we’re going, we need to know where we’ve been. The Current War will remind us of our mostly great past and the power of original thought, ingenuity, drive, sweat equity, and persuasion. Rated: 4/5 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Laura Potier Outtake Mag An illuminating tale in need of more direct (narrative) current. Rated: 3/5 Aug 16, 2021 Full Review Tom Beasley Flickering Myth There's a joy to its visual invention -- even if it sometimes piles on the chaos a little too much. Rated: 3/5 Aug 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
