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.

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.

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.

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.
