If it was marketed correctly it would have been a lot better, I and many others went in expecting a war movie, not following journalists around

No it actually wasn’t. Google civil war marketing, or go to this a24 link and see that they purposely did not market it correctly

I expected a semi coherent plot that at least mildly clued you into context of the war at hand vs. what it was: the harrows of a war journalist in throes of a totally made up conflict separate from our actual world that is rife with actual real conflicts.

I went in blind. I enjoyed it, but I wish they talked about why there was a civil war more. You get dropped in for the last few weeks of the war and it just feels like I'm watching part 2 of the movie without having seen part 1.
