About

You’ll like Bomb City if you want an intense true-story drama about prejudice and escalating town conflict; Not for you if you want a neutral, uplifting story or a lighter watch, especially if you disliked In the Fade or Calm with Horses.

Pros: thought-provoking social commentary; gripping true-story tension; powerful performances | Cons: highly divisive tone; slow in the middle; hard to root for anyone
