Political strategist Dominic Cummings leads a popular but controversial campaign to convince British voters to leave the European Union from 2015 up until the present day.
Some of the glaring errors in an early version of the script-which was leaked to The Daily Beast last summer-have been cut, but there are plenty of inaccurate and downright misleading scenes in the final production.
Brexit is nicely ambiguous as to whether Cummings is a misguided genius or simply a talented opportunist, and Cumberbatch is excellent at conveying the lonely monomania of a man stubbornly devoted to principles that only he recognizes.
It's simplistic but in its simplicity it captures the appalling crudeness and lack of nuance that is often the populist message from Donald Trump, Doug Ford and others.
While not as balanced as advertised, HBO's new movie, Brexit: The Uncivil War, offers fascinating insight into the political upheaval reverberating through the Western world.
Haynes functionally directs this sort of political and procedural thriller in which, in a way that is perhaps too obvious and didactic, the triumph of Eurosceptics is presented to us as tragic but inevitable. [Full Review in Spanish]
