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.

The film's release was duly paused and in the two years since there have been reshoots, five new scenes added and ten minutes cut from the original Toronto version. It's still a dirge. It's flat and repetitive. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Given the subject matter, it's a disappointingly unstimulating affair. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

So now the film deserves to be considered in its own right, all taint removed. And? It's still a turkey. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A torpidly slow epic with a script that moves at the speed of light, the film is pockmarked with incidents that never cohere into a clear narrative. Sep 12, 2017 | Rating: D | Full Review…

The Current War is a botched screenplay with too many hands in the kitchen. One of TIFF 2017'a biggest duds. Aug 20, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

If the story doesn't quite gel, and the characters are not given the depth they deserve, at least the performances are strong enough to keep the audience's interests from fading. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

For a movie that's supposed to be about invention, progress and the dawn of the future, 'The Current War' is absolutely none of these things. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

A film that could easily slip into cinemas and then slip out again. That would be a loss. For cinema fans, it comes with built-in curiosity value, but it also has more than enough to make it worth the effort. Aug 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Overall, The Current War is a robustly acted, if slightly muddled historical drama which could have benefited greatly from a stronger narrative direction. Aug 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Current War seems to have suffered from its tumultuous production history. Or, just maybe, it was always destined to be this ungainly. Aug 4, 2019 | Rating: 2/5
