A strategist begins a campaign to convince British voters to leave the European Union.

Critics Consensus

With acerbic wit and a mesmerizingly eccentric performance from Benedict Cumberbatch, Brexit energetically renders recent history with unflinching poise.

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.

I'd especially like to know how Matthew Elliott feels about being portrayed as a borderline simpleton whenever Cummings heaves into view.

That Graham has managed to make a functioning drama out of Brexit, let alone such a riveting one, feels a little bit miraculous.

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.

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.

If you need any more proof that the bourgeoisie are disconnected from the working classes, this pile of garbage is it.

A dramatic rendition of the surface consequences of political campaigns and the unseen effects of data analysis and the dangers they bring to the influence of the masses. This film entices a deeper interest in politics as well as the underlying effects at play. A mix of "The Social Network" and politics put into one movie, that eventually presents the dangerous consequence that underlying influences through personal online data can affect elections, beliefs, and an entire country.
