Rating: B --
Ultimately, the film sheds light on a fascinating episode in American history; it falls short, however, of being really electric.

Rating: 2/5 --
All the hallmarks of an Oscar contender are here, but the end result is such a terrible bore, beset by a dull screenplay that sucks the life out of this dazzling piece of history.

Rating: 3/5 --
Fuelled by impressive performances from a sensational cast, The Current War is a sturdy, well-paced historical drama. The production values - its set design, cinematography, costumes - are particularly winsome.

What I think really makes this film special is that it gives more of a role to Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse and talking about the financial risks that both of these men were taking. It kind of sets up the world we see today.

Even the likes of Thomas Edison would have to go back to the lab and do some tinkering to make this one shine.

The Current War: The Director's Cut is visually lucid but thematically scattershot.
