CSA: Confederate States of America movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: [Writer/Director] Willmott could have easily stumbled over his own cleverness but, as with the rest of the movie, his fantasia is intellectually rigorous and makes for stimulating debate. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A brilliant and irresistible counterfactual overview of American history. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A mockumentary often as unnerving as it is amusing, CSA: The Confederate States of America kicks off with a simple premise: What if the South had won 'the War of Northern Aggression'? Read more
Noel Murray, AV Club: Leagues deeper than a one-joke goof, CSA becomes a film about how frightfully easy it is for the soul of a corrupted nation to stay corrupt, as each generation sacrifices its ideals for the convenience of tradition. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Kevin Willmott's ersatz documentary CSA: The Confederate States of America is an act of provocation that's sheer genius in its conceptual simplicity. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: CSA is rough around the edges, especially where the acting and some of the film's invented characters are concerned. But the way CSA works out its ideas is so provoking that its drawbacks are not difficult to ignore. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Kevin Willmott pulls off an amazing trick with the fake documentary CSA: The Confederate States of America. On the lowest of budgets, he rewrites history on the grandest scale. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Funny, disturbing, smart and consciously outrageous. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: A dense counterhistory that ingeniously undermines your disbelief. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Willmott's battlefield strategy is parody, not drama, and he makes his points with far more invention than finesse. Read more
Adam Nayman, L.A. Weekly: Sprung urgent and barn-side broad, in the tradition of all great, immodest proposals, C.S.A. is A-OK. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: There's a rough, raw kind of genius here, and one that resonates. Because how far off is Willmott's scenario anyway? Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: CSA is a sophomoric film essay that would have barely rated a passing grade from a tougher teacher. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A sometimes incisive, sometimes amateurish look at race in America, the things we do and tolerate as a nation that are really no different from an America ruled by unrepentant slave-holders. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: The satire comes to feel strained and the whole premise gets awfully precious, reducing social subtleties to cinematic simplicities. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: By slyly nudging both history and the language of television, this mock documentary about an America won by the Confederacy ... manages to be both shocking and strangely banal in equal measure. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Willmott, who has written numerous documentaries and is a professor of film studies at the University of Kansas, maps an initially plausible trajectory. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: A piece of well-crafted righteous indignation. Read more
