Good acting performances although some over-simplifications and gross misrepresentations of characters and situations. Seems like a desperate attempt to keep the illusion and set lies... To it's defense, it does read at the start: "based on real events... some aspects of dialogue, character and scenes have been devised". Worth checking-out the real accounts and real characters of the story for yourself. Especially on Dominic Cummings @ Nudgestock 2017.

It's a narrative which should be a lesson to us all. Fast paced and of course excellent acting. Hypocrisy meets big data!

Brexit: The Uncivil War is an important, gripping drama on the real events that occurred in both the Leave and Remain campaigns during the run-up to the 2016 EU Referendum. The film focuses primarily on the Vote Leave campaign, which makes sense as said campaign was anything but conventional. The film accurately explains the strategy behind Vote Leave's achievement of that which was previously thought unthinkable. The campaign utilised modern techniques of reaching voters which exploited the data we choose to make freely-available online. The sophistication of strategy depicted and Vote Leave's underdog status from the beginning of their campaign will definitely have some remain voters finding themselves rooting for the other team (despite their positions differing). Although admittedly somewhat dramatised, Brexit: The Uncivil War truly does illustrate that recent political events have changed Western politics permanently. For the best or the worst, strategy is changing, and this film conveys that message perfectly.

In short it is a propoganda piece designed to maintain the power of the global elitists. If Britain leaves the EU, the entire union will collapse. This film is an attempt to stop that from happening, simple as that. Do I care if Britain leaves the EU? No. But it would be in the best interest of the vast majority of its citizens, that is the bottom line.

OK so "Remain" outspent "leave" 2.8:1, yet it is remain complaining about the result?

... in that your social media data can not just be harvested to sell you hats and hamburgers, but sell you misinformation literally tailored to you for political campaigns as well. This is the tale of the 2016 referendum on Brexit- the vote in the UK to leave the European Union. Specifically it is a portrait of one man, Dominic Cummings (Benedict Cumberbatch), the director of the "Leave" campaign, or the campaign to exit the EU. I wasn't sure why the side story of the Cummings marriage and pregnancy was included at first, but later it becomes clear that Cummings would have come across as a statistician/political version of House, M.D. if that humanizing story was not present. Cummings enlists the help of a tiny Canadian IT company - Aggregate IQ - to do data mining of social media for the "Leave" campaign, and they come up with three million potential Brexit voters that the "Remain" campaign (campaign to remain in the EU) knows nothing about. Cummings' strategy involves tenets of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" , specifically forcing the "Remain" campaign to "fight in the darkness", or wherever the "Leave" campaign chose them to fight. Specifically Britain has an equal time policy when it comes to political messages. So the Remain campaign would have a Nobel prize winning economist explaining the downside to leaving the EU in complex terms, and then the Leave side would talk about millions of Turks possibly emigrating to the UK, forcing the Remain side to waste time on trying to debunk that message. It is up the viewer as to whether this tale is humorous or frightening, I think it is a little bit of both. On the frightening side you have political campaigns becoming the equivalent of the evil presence in the 1982 film Poltergeist - it knows what scares you. On the humorous side you see the frustration of the Remain side as the Leave side will simply not play by the rules. And kudos to the guy playing Boris Johnson. He looked just like him. I'm only knocking one point off this almost perfect film because it had quite a bit of stuff that the viewer was just assumed to know. For example it kept talking about "MPs". In the US that is "Military Police". In the UK it is "Members of Parliament". I should not have to search Wikipedia in order to completely understand a film, but overall that is a minor complaint. Highly recommended,and this is NOT a piece of propaganda.

The production value was top quality and the acting was excellent, especially from Benedict Cumberbatch and Rory Kinnear. However, the story was a parochial London-centric, liberal elite, guardian-esque take on an issue that spanned an entire country and affected 66 million people. Occasionally, it verged or condescending and insulting towards those who voted for Brexit.
