Warfare
from Cinema D‘Amore Hosted by Cinema D‘Amore
Hosts Chuck and Justin break down Warfare, the A24 war film from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza starring Cosmo Jarvis and Will Poulter. They dig into its boots-on-the-ground intensity, the decision to favor raw experience over traditional character arcs, and how the film turns a single day of combat into a brutally immersive experience. The episode places Warfare within the modern war-film landscape, touches on Black Hawk Down parallels, and critiques the movie’s pacing and structure. Chuck and Justin spotlight the performances that anchor the chaos and take a close look at A24’s stripped-back production approach, closing with their take on the film’s ending and box-office run.
