The Current War, the historical film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon is receiving very good reviews.
"A compelling tug of war story that remains engaging due to the film’s visual style and the strong performances from the lead actors," said Louisa Moore (Screen Zealots) about the film directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon that portrays the fierce competition to create and market a sustainable electricity system for the entire United States at the end of the 19th century.
"This is a complex story with huge historical repercussions and potentially something to say about our own late-stage capitalist moment," said Chris McCoy (Memphis Flyer).
While Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews) said that it is "an elegantly realized intellectual thriller which considers not only the eternal struggle between art and commerce, but also the effect of personalities on inventing the future.”
Also starring Nicholas Hoult, Tom Holland, Katherine Waterston and Simon Manyonda, among other figures, The Current War constitutes an exciting period portrait with consequences that come to our day.
