Reviews

The Film Stage -
Despite the filmmakers investing so much time in unnecessary biopic exposition, the whole is an exciting and informative history lesson.
|
|
The Guardian -
This a watchably stylised period film, with interesting visual setpieces and faces looming up at us out of intricately contrived backgrounds.

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Apart from those nutty camera angles and lenses, which throw you out of the action, The Current War is absorbing.... It never quite snaps into focus, though.
|
|
The Playlist -
The only aspect of the film that even makes it watchable ends up being Shannon’s portrayal of Westinghouse.

|
We Got This Covered -
Gomez-Rejon’s The Current War is unfortunately neutralized by Mitnick’s artless script.
